Chronic intradiploic hematomas of the skull without coagulopathy: Report of two cases

A case of chronic ossified hematoma presented as a skull lesion: A literature review on two rare conditions, cephalhematoma, and intradiploic hematoma

“…The exact etiology is still unknown, but the use of anticoagulants, trauma in birth, and shunt surgeries have all been mentioned in the literature. 7 Usually, CIH resolves spontaneously, but if it is not, a connective tissue surrounds the hematoma and forms a (pseudo) capsule. 8 On conventional radiography and CT scan, the typical presentation of a CIH is a well‐circumscribed, expanded intra‐skull lesion with or without surrounding sclerosis with varying attenuations and internal enhancing components after contrast injection.…”

“…CIH is another rare pathology that could be mistaken for OCH. The exact etiology is still unknown, but the use of anticoagulants, trauma in birth, and shunt surgeries have all been mentioned in the literature 7 . Usually, CIH resolves spontaneously, but if it is not, a connective tissue surrounds the hematoma and forms a (pseudo) capsule 8 .…”

“…CIH is another rare pathology that could be mistaken with OCH. The exact etiology is still unknown, but the use of anticoagulants, trauma in birth, and shunt surgeries have been previously mentioned in the literature (7). Usually, CIH resolves spontaneously, but if it is not, a connective tissue surrounds the hematoma and forms a (pseudo) capsule (8).…”

Intradiploic Hematoma in a Hemophilic Patient: Hemophilic Pseudotumor of Calvarium

“…Some authors recommend cosmetic cranioplasty within the same surgical procedure [4]. However, most of them prefer to preserve the intact inner table [5].…”
