TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Othematoma associated with ill-fitting helmet and high G load: a case report JO - Aviation, space, and environmental medicine A1 - Aghina, J. C. SP - 143 EP - 144 VL - 55 IS - 2 N2 - 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.
