Subgaleal Bleed

The baby's head and camera are still in the same position. As the fluid is pushed anteriorly, an even larger bulge can be seen over the baby's left parietal area and anterior fontanelle. This infant did very well. Serial hematocrits and frequent vitals were stable and a NICU consultation was requested. The infant was able to stay with the mother in the newborn nursery. At the time of discharge, 4 days later, the fluctuent area was significantly smaller.
