Facial bruising- Marked bruising of the face can occur during delivery. It is more common when there is a tight nuchal cord, when the delivery is precipitous or difficult, or when the infant is large. When the infant is bundled, this facial appearance could be mistaken for cyanosis, but with a quick comparison to the color of the rest of the body, the diagnosis is obvious. This type of bruising resolves over the course of several days. #peds #pediatrics #clinical #photo #facial #bruising #newborn
