A chart survey of 139 newborns with cephal hematoma showed the majority were associated with primiparity, forceps delivery, or prolonged labor. The complications included jaundice, central nervous system symptoms, localized in fection, anemia and subdural hematoma. Neo natal jaundice was frequently associated. Under lying skull fractures were found in 7.1 per cent of the 84 infants in whom skull x-rays were taken, a lower incidence than that reported by others.
