ephalohematoma of infancy is a subperiosteal blood collection of the infant cranium, occurring in up to 2.5 percent of all live births. 1 This ensues after sudden blunt trauma or shear forces tear the delicate blood vessels traversing the pericranium. 2 The most common causes of birth trauma leading to cephalohematoma are vacuum extraction, forceps-assisted delivery, intrauterine scalp electrode use for fetal heart rate monitoring, skull fracture, and fetal calvarial impact against the laboring mother's pelvis. [2][3][4][5][6] Although the majority of cephalohematomas resolve within 1 to 4 weeks of life without intervention, a small proportion will persist and can become calcified through subperiosteal osteogenesis. 2,7-10 Because of the subperiosteal location, calcified cephalohematoma of infancy is a distinct entity from subgaleal hematoma and has the capacity to form a permanent cranial deformity.Although the pathophysiology behind the calcification process is not definitive, we postulate that calcified cephalohematoma growth recapitulates normal development of the inner and outer cranial tables, as described by Melvin
