Abstract
Non-traumatic subgaleal hematoma is very rare. We present a case of refractory non-traumatic subgaleal hematoma occurring in a 15-year-old male patient. The patient was successfully treated by embolization of the superficial temporal artery. This therapeutic approach to refractory non-traumatic subgaleal hematoma is discussed.
