The 5-day-old 38-week-gestation neonate was born to a 25-year-old primigravida woman after a pregnancy and vacuum-assisted delivery complicated by gestational diabetes, large for gestational age fetus, and shoulder dystocia. The neonate required vigorous stimulation and positive pressure ventilation. Apgar scores were 3 and 8 at 1 and 5 minutes of life.
