What Does Visible Large Vein From Hairline To Between Eyebrows Indicate?
Hi doc, my baby is nearly 5 months. She has had all her injections so far, but the last month I have noticed what appears to eesemble a large vien going from her hairline to just between her eyebrows down her face. It always appears when she does some tummy time or cries a bit. Is this normal?
Thank you H

Appearance of visible or prominent veins on the forehead during crying or straining is quite normal.During straining intrathoracic pressure increases and return of blood to the heart decreases causing pooling of blood in the periphery si the veins become prominent.
