Huge recurrent subperiosteal hematoma in a 9-year-old boy: case report with special reference to pathologic and anatomic studies.
BACKGROUND
Huge subperiosteal hematomas extending beyond the cranial sutures are rare and clinically, their distinction from subgaleal hematomas may be difficult.


METHODS
We report a subperiosteal hematoma that involved the entire scalp including the orbit and recurred within 6 months.


CONCLUSIONS
We discuss our neuroradiologic and histopathologic findings and our management strategy.
