SPECIALIST ANSWERS
Question :
My daughter has cephalhematoma and is 6 wks. old. We were told that this would eventually go away and it still has not. They are now telling us that it is calcified, so we are going to see a specialist. During the birth she had an inch left to come out and they did use the suction to get her out. We were told that she hit my cervix and that is what the hematoma was from is this true? or was it from the suction? Also would rubbing have helped it to not have calcified? We were never told to rub it, basically it was to just go away on its on. What is the normal procedure once they are calcified. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
Usually a cephalhematoma takes months to recover. Residual calcification may occur in 1% of cases. If it hardens it suggests underlying calcification that may need to be aspirated. Rubbing a cephalhematoma is not advised as it may increase the bleeding in the collection. Cephalhematoma usually occurs due to trauma at birth and if spontaneous one must rule out a bleeding disorder.
