Özet
İngilizce (OpenAlex)
Subgaleal hematoma is defined as blood collection within the loose areolar tissue of the scalp. The major cause of subgaleal hematoma in children is minor head trauma. It is characterized by diffuse scalp swelling crossing the suture lines which usually results in spontaneous recovery. Underlying coagulopathy should be evaluated in case of subgaleal hematoma after a trivial trauma. Another consideration for physicians, who face with a case of subgaleal hematoma, is complications such as proptosis, keratitis, and even airway compromise as a life-threatening event. Here, we present a case of uneventfully resolved subgaleal hematoma related with hair pulling.
