    Author: Antón J, Pineda V, Martin C, Artigas J, Rivera J.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 1999 Oct; 15(5):347-9. PubMed ID: 10532668.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: A subgaleal hematoma or subaponeurotic hemorrhage occurs infrequently and is usually seen in pediatric patients, especially in the neonatal period. It may be associated with coagulation disorders. CASE REPORT: We report on a previously healthy 19-month-old patient who presented with an extensive subgaleal hematoma and significant anemia secondary to a fall. DISCUSSION: A literature review was conducted, and the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the subgaleal hematoma are discussed. CONCLUSION: Conservative treatment, except in select severe cases, is recommended for this condition.
