Term
1. Intraventricular hemorrhage
Definition
in premature infants it usually arises in the germinal matrix, especially in the capillaries overlying the head of the caudate. The greatest risk is at 26-31 weeks. Risk factors include hypoxia and immaturity of blood vessels. In term infants, this is more likely to arise in the choroid plexus
Term
a. Extracranial hemorrhage
Definition
i. When it involves the subcutaneous tissue, it is termed caput succedaneum and occurs as a result of prominent head molding during vaginal delivery. It crosses suture lines and resolves in 1-2 days.

ii. Extracranial hemorrhage into the sub-periosteum is termed cephalohematoma and is associated with forceps delivery. It can continue to increase after birth, resolves in weeks to months, does not cross suture lines, and is usually seen in the parietal bone. In 25% of cases it is associated with an underlying skull fracture.
