Neonatal cutaneous haemorrhage - what does this mean

Neonatal cutaneous haemorrhage is a condition in which bleeding occurs in the skin of newborns, usually due to an underlying medical condition such as thrombocytopenia or von willebrand disease. it can also be caused by trauma during delivery or due to a congenital defect in the blood clotting system.

What happens during the disease - neonatal cutaneous haemorrhage

Neonatal cutaneous haemorrhage is caused by a combination of factors, including a lack of platelets in the blood, a decrease in the activity of clotting factors, and a decrease in the activity of the fibrinolytic system. in addition, the immature vascular system of newborns may be more prone to bleeding due to increased fragility of the capillary walls. this can lead to bleeding into the skin and other organs, resulting in the clinical signs of neonatal cutaneous haemorrhage.
