Subgaleal hemorrhage in a premature infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia following vacuum-assisted delivery

Abstract
An infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia was delivered by vacuum extraction, with a resultant subgaleal hemorrhage that excluded him from ECMO. The literature regarding vacuum-assisted delivery and birth trauma is reviewed in the context of congenital anomalies that may require ECMO support, and recommendations for perinatal management are suggested.
