ABSTRACT
Pressure alopecia can occur after prolonged pressure on the scalp with the head fixed in one position. We have repor ted 5 cases of pressure alopecia, occurring over the contralateral temporoparietal 1 area after tympanomastoidectomy due to chronic ot.itis media. Total times of operations were from 4 hours to 7 hours. Four of the 5 patients experienced scalp pain during the early postoperative period and one of them showed large bulla formation. Loss of hairs followed between the 14th and 36th postoperative day, and new hairs began to grow 2 or 3 months after the operation.
