Any chance you can hear subdural hematoma ???

subdural hematoma a hematoma between the dura mater and the pia-arachnoid, usually caused by the head's striking an immovable object such as a wall or the floor of a room; there may or may not be a significant head injury or fracture.

It is possibly cephalohematoma. Usually, this is a complication in a fetus during childbirth, but is basically a collection of blood under the scalp, which would fit in the description you provided; the patient hit her head.
