BIRTH TRAUMA
INTRODUCTION
• Birth trauma (BT) refers to damage of the tissues and
organs of a newly delivered child, often as a result of
physical pressure or trauma during childbirth.
• The term also encompasses the long term consequences,
often of a cognitive nature, of damage to the brain or
cranium
• However, there are often clear distinctions to be made
between brain damage caused by birth trauma and that
induced by intrauterine asphyxia. It is also crucial to
distinguish between "birth trauma" and "birth injury".
• Birth injuries encompass any systemic damages incurred
during delivery (hypoxic, toxic, biochemical, infection
factors, etc.)
• "birth trauma" focuses largely on mechanical
damage. subcutaneous hemorrhages, small subperiostal
hemorrhages, hemorrhages along the displacements of
cranial bones, intradural bleedings, subcapsular
haematomas of liver, are among the more commonly
reported birth injuries.
CAUSES
• Cephalo-pelvic disproportion
• the quick and rapid delivery
• delayed and prolonged delivery
• the abnormal birth position
• Asynclitic birth (asinclitismus)
ICD-10-CM GUIDELINES
• Intracranial laceration and hemorrhage due to birth injury-
P10
• Other birth injuries to central nervous system- P11
• Birth injury to scalp-P12
• Birth injury to skeleton- P13
• Birth injury to peripheral nervous system- P14
• Other birth injuries- P15
