Abstract

Subgaleal haematoma, also called subaponeurotic haemorrhage, is a serious but rarely seen form of bleeding that can occur as a complication to vacuum-assisted delivery. Subgaleal haemorrhage may be much more copious than the more common subperiostal bleeding, and can almost exsanguinate the infant. A pressure bandage applied to the upper head can be lifesaving.
