Recently, two patients presented themselves at Juliana Children\'s Hospital, the Hague, the Netherlands, with a swelling on the head and headache with no obvious cause. Radiological imaging showed subgaleal hematomas. Upon questioning, both patients mentioned using extensive traction while styling their hair.
In conclusion, when analysing an older child with a swelling on the head with no obvious cause, consider the diagnoses subgaleal hematoma due to hair traction. It might be helpful to observe them styling their hair. A proper clinical review can therefore prevent over-testing and overtreatment.
