Hello
This is a 3 week old Rottweiler pup that assumedly had head trauma. It presented recumbant and non-responsive with a large (3cm) soft swelling over his head. On US it does not appear to be fluid but rather tissue of the same echogenicity seen through the fontenelle. I am thinking that this is brain herniation. I was hoping for some opinions. Thanks. Brent.

Bone looks to be in tact other than the fontanelle and I agree soft tissue edema/hematiom outside the cranium

Thanks. Pet was comatose when presented and unfortunately passed away a few hours after presenting to the clinic. Sad one.
