Abstract

Sugaleal hematoma usually develop one to eight days after minor head trauma or clotting disorders in children. The galeal aponeurosa in children is loosely attatched to the pericranium, allowing the collection of large quantity of blood. Most cases of subgaleal hematomas resolve spontaneously, however some cases require surgical intervention, aspiration of subgaleal hematoma often alleviate symptoms briefly and but do not shorten the time to resolution. Reaccumulation, infection following aspiration also had been reported. Here, we report the efficacy of using the blood donating set for the treatment of subgaleal hematoma in our series.
