Question :
I have a 3 month old baby girl (she will turn 3 months in a few days). She is healthy in every other aspect. Just 10 days ago though, we noticed a lump on her head which had not been there before. She was admitted into hospital and monitored. Everything was fine. Her X rays and CT scan results came out fine as well. However that lump is still there. Seems to in fact have filled with fluid since last checked. Doctor did the illumination test and said it seemed like fluid. Wants to do an ultra sound in a week. The lump doesn't bother her and doesn't seem painful either. Is soft. I had a forceps delivery. I am very concerned about the lump. Please help me figure out what it is.Thanks!
Answer
It may be a condition called cephalhematoma (collection of blood on the scalp). It is usually seen with traumatic delivery such as forceps or vaccum. Though seen at birth, in few children it may appear later in life. For further details, read what the "SPECIALIST ANSWERS" for cephalhematoma or from the link given below:
