(B). Cephalohematoma is a subperiosteal hemorrhage, hence always limited to the surface of one cranial bone, while caput succedaneum is a diffuse, sometimes ecchymotic, edematous swelling of the soft tissues of the scalp involving the area presenting during vertex delivery. It may extend across the midline and across suture lines.
