  • Title: Massive subgaleal hematoma resulting in skin compromise and airway obstruction.
    Author: Nichter LS, Bolton LL, Reinisch JF, Sloan GM.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1988 Dec; 28(12):1681-3. PubMed ID: 3199473.
    Abstract:
    Subgaleal hematomas following minimal trauma, haircombing, and hair pulling by playground swings have been described. Recently a case was reported that progressed to otic hemorrhage and upper facial edema. We present a case (of a previously unreported nature) of a subgaleal hematoma that resulted in airway obstruction, massive edema of the entire face and neck, and limited epidermolysis of facial skin.
