Huge subperiosteal hematomas extending beyond the cranial sutures are rare and clinically, their distinction from subgaleal hematomas may be difficult.
We report a subperiosteal hematoma that involved the entire scalp including the orbit and recurred within 6 months.
We discuss our neuroradiologic and histopathologic findings and our management strategy.
