Subgaleal hematoma in a child, without skull fracture / John S. KIRKPATRICK in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 28-4 (August 1986)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 28-4 (August 1986) . - p.511-514 Titre : Subgaleal hematoma in a child, without skull fracture Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : John S. KIRKPATRICK, Auteur ; David J. GOWER, Auteur ; Allen CHAUVENET, Auteur ; David L. jr KELLY, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.511-514 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The rare cases of subgaleal hematoma in childhood reported previously have all been related to head trauma. A case of apparently spontaneous subgaleal hematoma is reported which was associated with a qualitative platelet defect and not with trauma. Subgaleal hematoma must be differentiated from subgaleal infection and air from frontal sinusitis with bony erosion, and from an encephalocele or tumor erosion through the skull. Computed cranial tomography is useful in that differentiation. Most cases have been managed conservatively, but subgaleal tap may be indicated if there is severe headache or potential scalp necrosis.
