    A teenage breakdancer experienced persistent headaches and vision changes due to multiple subdural hematomas and a cyst. Prompt surgical removal led to a full recovery, highlighting the need to consider head injuries in young athletes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Adolescent breakdancer with a 3-month history of worsening headache.
    • Presentation of newly identified papilledema, indicating increased intracranial pressure.

    Observation:

    • Four distinct, unilateral extracranial collections identified in the patient.
    • Surgical exploration revealed three subdural hematomas and one arachnoid cyst with hematoma content.

    Findings:

    • Complete surgical excision of all four extracranial collections.
    • Patient experienced an uneventful recovery with no lasting neurological deficits.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for serious head injury in breakdancing.
