KA42.4ICD-11 MMS 2026-01
Subgaleal epicranial subaponeurotic haemorrhage due to birth injury
Description
Subgaleal haemorrhage is a collection of blood in the space between the epicranial aponeurosis of the scalp and the periosteum of the skull.
Coding note from above levels
Conditions arising in the perinatal period, even though death or morbidity occurs later, should, as far as possible, be coded to chapter 19, which takes precedence over chapters containing codes for diseases by their anatomical site. For children less than 28 days old, assume that a reported condition developed in the perinatal period, unless the duration is stated and the onset was after the first completed week of life.
