Yenidoğanda Anemi Nedeni Olarak Subgaleal Kanama: Olgu Sunumu Subgaleal Hemorrhage As A Cause Of Anemia In Newborn: Case Report

Subgaleal hemorrhage is a rare but serious birth-related adverse event that, when unrecognized, can result with death. It is caused by rupture of the emissary veins, which are connections between the dural sinuses and the scalp veins. Blood accumulates between the epicranial aponeurosis of the scalp and the periosteum. This potential space extends forward to the orbital margins, backward to the nuchal ridge and laterally to the temporal fascia. The incidence rate is reported to be approximately 0.04% in spontaneous delivery and 0.6% in vacuum extraction.Herein we report a subgaleal hemorrhage in a spontaneously vaginally delivered term infant presenting with anemia.
