“…Presentation is with a diffuse, boggy (like pitting oedema), gravity-dependent scalp swelling that obscures the sutures initially and across time organises to a tense haematoma. 27 An increase in head swelling and circumference is common, and accurate measurement of head circumference is essential. In large haemorrhages, eyelids may swell and ears may be displaced inferiorly because of the mass effect ( Fig.…”

Subgaleal haemorrhage (SGH) is an important cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the neonate. Its increased prevalence in recent years has coincided with the rise in the number of births assisted by vacuum extraction. Three deaths in Australia within the last 7 years have been the subject of two coronial inquests. Subsequent coronial reports have highlighted that neonatal death from SGH can be prevented if appropriate attention is paid to identification of risk factors, early diagnosis, close observation and aggressive treatment. To prevent unnecessary deaths, all involved in the care of the baby after birth need to be aware of the importance of prompt diagnosis, monitoring and early treatment of SGH.
