◽
Head and neck injury as a consequence of in utero pressure and birth trauma is a rare event. We report a case of a patient who was born full-term via vaginal delivery and presented soon after birth with skin changes over the nasal tip consistent with a pressure-related injury that progressed to a stable eschar. Conservative management with close clinical monitoring resulted in a well-healed wound over the nasal tip. A detailed discussion regarding the diagnosis and management of head and neck lesions after birth is provided.
