A case of cephalohematoma

Our index case was delivered vaginally with an episiotomy at 38 weeks of gestation to a 28-year-old primi-gravida woman in Gynaecology Department of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences. During delivery the second stage was prolonged. At birth, there was a fluctuating swelling on the frontal lobe that grew over time. Physical examination revealed an afebrile and well-appearing newborn with a huge, uniform, fluctuant swelling on the frontal area. The swelling is nothing but the accumulation of blood under the scalp.
