Subperiosteal haematoma on the temple of an 86 year old male patient. This is a collection of blood that forms between the thin membrane covering the bone (periosteum) and the surface of the bone. It is usually caused by an injury, as in this case, where the patient fell while using edoxaban medication for atrial fibrillation. Symptoms of a subperiosteal hematoma include swelling, tenderness, pain, bruising, or deformity over the affected area. Treatment for this condition involves managing the symptoms and promoting healing through rest, ice therapy, and painkillers. | |
