Overview
The diagnosis is generally a clinical one, with a fluctuant boggy mass developing over the scalp (especially over the occiput) with superficial skin bruising. The swelling develops gradually 12-72 hours after delivery, although it may be noted immediately after delivery in severe cases. The hematoma spreads across the whole calvaria as its growth is insidious and may not be recognized for hours. Patients with subgaleal hematoma may present with hemorrhagic shock. The swelling may obscure the fontanel and cross suture lines (distinguishing it from cephalohematoma).
