A cephalohematoma (see photo) is a subperiosteal hemorrhage that is localized to the cranial bone that was traumatized during delivery.
The swelling does not extend across a suture line. As the blood is reabsorbed from the cephalohematoma it will contribute to hyperbilirubinemia.
Bruising on the head-or elsewhere on the body-from birth trauma or any other bleeding can also lead to increased bilirubin production because blood extravasated into tissues will be broken down and converted to bilirubin.
