Usually shortened by obstetricians to \u2018caput\u2019, this is the temporary swelling which is sometimes found on the head of the newborn infant. It is due to oedema in and around the scalp, caused by pressure on the head as the child is born. It is of no significance and quickly disappears spontaneously.<\/p>\n

Diffuse edema of the fetal scalp that crosses the suture lines. Head compression against the cervix impedes venous return, forcing serum into the interstitial tissues. The swelling reabsorbs within 1 to 3 days.<\/p>\n
