Wikipedia
Cephalohematoma
A cephalohaematoma is a hemorrhage of blood between the skull and the periosteum of any age human, including a newborn baby secondary to rupture of blood vessels crossing the periosteum. Because the swelling is subperiosteal, its boundaries are limited by the individual bones, in contrast to a caput succedaneum.

cephalohematoma
Cephalohematoma is a medical condition usually observed in newborns, characterized by a hemorrhage or bleeding that occurs underneath the cranial bone, causing a swelling or mass to form on the baby's scalp. It is often caused by birth trauma, such as the use of forceps during delivery. The condition usually resolves on its own over a period of weeks or months as the blood is absorbed back into the body.
