Abstract
A subgaleal hematoma is the collection of blood in the subgaleal space of the scalp. This entity is mostly seen in neonates as result of birth trauma. In children, it has been described in both accidental and non-accidental trauma and presents as painful scalp swelling. Subgaleal hematoma, outside the setting of birth or other trauma, is rare. In this report, we describe a case of a massive subgaleal hematoma in a child from non-abusive hair pulling.
