Chignon due to birth injury - what does this mean

Chignon due to birth injury is a condition in which the skull of a newborn baby is deformed due to the excessive force used during delivery. this deformation causes the sides of the skull to be pushed inwards, resulting in a pointed top of the head. this condition is usually caused by the improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction during delivery.

What happens during the disease - chignon due to birth injury

Chignon due to birth injury is a condition caused by trauma sustained during the birthing process. it is characterized by a tight band of scar tissue that forms around the scalp due to the trauma, causing a “bump” or “knot” to form. this can cause pain and discomfort, and can interfere with growth and development. in some cases, surgery may be needed to release the scar tissue and restore normal head shape.
