hello, on Sunday our son was wearing footed pajamas and fell down the steps. He hit the bottom pretty hard with his head. He had a good size goose egg we noticed during bath time and a small soft spot. After feeling the softspot we ran him to the ER. They did a catscan and it came back good, no problems at all. He didn t have a concussion and never lost consinous (sorry about the spelling). Today during bath we noticed the soft spot is getting larger and going up the whole left side of his head. We were told it would take awile for it to go away, but should we be really concered with this larger soft spot?
IIN my opinion, there is a high probability that your child has developed a subarea hematoma. It happens due to bleeding from emissary veins in space between aponeurosis and periosteum of skull. As it may lead to significant blood loss, an immediate physical examination is needed. You may require an MRI brain to come to a conclusion. For any further information, do contact us.
