RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Subgaleal hemorrhage (SGH) is a rare but possibly fatal condition in the neonate. Vacuum extractors are effective options for operative vaginal delivery. However, their use can increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage in the neonate. CASE: A male infant delivered by cesarean section with assistance of a vacuum extractor had SGH attributed to the vacuum. CONCLUSION: The application of a vacuum extractor can increase the risk of trauma, including SGH. Good communication between health care providers and the use of the same precautions as with a vaginal delivery are advised.
