SUBGALEAL HEMORRHAGE
What do you know?
- It is rare and potentially life-threatening that is mostly associated with delivery by vacuum extraction but can occur with any mode of delivery.

• develops when the large emissary veins connecting the dural sinuses and scalp veins rupture or are severed. Blood accumulates in the subgaleal (or "subaponeurotic") space which extends from the orbital ridges anteriorly to the nape of the neck posteriorly and to the level of the ears laterally. The clinical spectrum of SGH severity varies widely from mild asymptomatic to severe with developing hemorrhagic shock, coagulation defects and even death.

• Risk factors includes vacuum extraction time greater than 20 minutes and/or greater than three (3) pulls and/or greater than two (2) cup detachments.

• Diffuse fluctuating scalp swelling, scalp feels like "leather pouch filled with water", displaced earlobes, puffy eyelids
