summary

I believe that women are not unfamiliar with the common situation of scalp hematoma in their babies. Scalp hematoma in newborn babies is a topic that every novice mother is concerned about. This phenomenon mainly occurs in dystocia, fetal head suction, forceps midwifery, and sometimes in normal delivery. This is due to the rupture of blood vessels under the skull, blood stay in the local and form, more common in one or both sides of the skull. The hematoma is higher than the skin, the boundary is clear, the size is different, does not surpass the skull bone suture. Generally, it becomes obvious 2-3 days after birth, with wave motion when pressing. In the case of no infection, the symptoms can be gradually absorbed and disappeared after several weeks to months.

How does darling scalp hematoma treat

First: in the process of delivery, the scalp is compressed by the birth canal, the local blood and lymph circulation is obstructed, and the plasma extravasation causes scalp hematoma. The top of the head is semicircular, the epidermis is red and swollen, and it is soft to touch. If it is not infected by the outside world, there is no need for special treatment, and it can disappear after 3-5 days.

Second: if the baby's scalp hematoma is caused by the hat shaped aponeurosis hematoma, in this case, the amount of bleeding is large, the scope of hematoma is wide, the baby's head is obviously swollen and deformed, generally do not do hematoma puncture and conservative treatment. The superficial temporal artery can be compressed if the hematoma is progressively enlarged. If it is effective, the artery can be ligated. If the baby appears pale, heart rate and other symptoms, should be treated in time.

Third: the scalp hematoma caused by subperiosteal hematoma is more common in primipara and dystocia newborns, about 25% can be accompanied by skull fracture. Hematoma often occurs at the top of the head, the surface of the skin is normal, semi-circular, smooth, clear boundary, touch wave motion. Generally in 2-6 weeks gradually absorbed. If there is no obvious absorption, hematoma puncture should be performed under strict aseptic conditions to extract hematoma hematoma hematocele, so as to avoid evolving into bone cyst.
