Intracranial hemorrhage in infants with cephalohematoma

Abstract

The association of ICH appears to be common in newborn infants with CH; particularly in infants with CH accompanied with a skull fracture, the rate of ICH was very high, and all cases of EDH requiring intervention were associated with skull fracture. Therefore, evaluation of accompanying skull fracture should be required in infants with CH, and, in cases of skull fracture, neuroimaging should be considered.
