Abstract

One case of othematoma caused by high +Gz load and an improperly fitted helmet is described. Many recommended modalities of treatment are followed by the reaccumulation of the fluid. Compression sutures should, therefore, be the treatment of choice. A properly-fitted, light-weight helmet can help prevent this injury.
