Abstract
We report a case of giant cephalhaematoma in a 17-year-old boy with Eh lers-Danlos syndrome. This haematoma occurred after a minor head injur y. It increased in size, immediately after needle aspiration and was r esponsible for considerable blood loss. Possible physiopathological me chanisms and treatment modalities are discussed.
