Article Synopsis
- The article discusses subgaleal hematomas as a rarely considered cause of head swelling in older children, primarily linked to excessive hair styling techniques.
- It presents two cases from Juliana Children's Hospital where patients experienced head swelling and headaches, which were identified as subgaleal hematomas due to significant hair traction.
- The conclusion emphasizes the need for thorough patient evaluations to consider hair traction as a potential cause of head swelling, aiming to reduce unnecessary tests and treatments.
Haplo-insufficiency of the TGFβ-activated kinase 1 binding protein 2 (TAB2) gene is associated with short stature, facial dysmorphisms, connective tissue abnormalities, hearing loss, and cardiac disease. Skeletal dysplasia and sacral dimples are also found in a minority of patients. Here, we describe a 3-generation family with caudal appendage, other sacral anomalies, and skeletal abnormalities including hypoplasia of the iliac wings and scapulae, fusion of the carpal bones and stenosis of the spinal canal, as well as a remarkable course of prenatally-detected cardiomyopathy with characteristics changing over time.
