title: Epidural hematoma and cephalohematoma with congenital hypofibrinogenemia.
abstract: Cerebral hematoma described as the bleeding into the cerebrum leads to an expanding mass of blood that damages surrounding neural tissues. It is a very rare clinical finding of congenital hypofibrinogenemia. In this case study we are reporting a 5-year old boy with massive epidural hematoma and recurrent cephalohematoma as a result of minor trauma.
