In this video will look at cephalohematomas in newborns.
Cephalohematoma in newborns is a relatively common condition in which a small pool of blood develops into a mass just underneath the baby's scalp outside the skull. The blood Cephalohematomas are caused when the pressure on a baby's head during vaginal childbirth damages or ruptures very small blood vessels in scalp.
