Scalp hematoma

Early symptoms of scalp hematoma: Swelling and thickening of the tissues around the hematoma, which are susceptible to depression, which is easily misdiagnosed as a depressed skull fracture. Sometimes a skull X-ray examination is required to rule out the possibility of fracture. Late symptoms: Caused by ruptured arterioles or blood vessels. Because the subcapsular aponeurosis is loose, blood can easily expand in all directions, and the blood can fill the entire subcapsular aponeurosis, which significantly increases the top of the head, and its blood content can reach hundreds of milliliters.
