Breakdancers Warned of Rare Scalp Condition
News summary

Breakdancers have been warned about a rare condition known as 'headspin hole' or 'breakdance bulge', resulting from repeated headspins, which can cause a protuberance on the scalp. A recent case involved a Danish man in his 30s who developed a visible lump after 19 years of intensive breakdancing, prompting surgical intervention to remove the mass. The lump, caused by prolonged pressure on the cranium, led to tenderness, scalp thickening, and hair loss, making public appearances without a hat uncomfortable for the patient. The surgical removal of the mass was successful, with the patient expressing satisfaction and relief. Experts advise dancers to reduce or avoid headspins if they notice early signs of the condition, although the surgery has proven effective in symptom relief. This case adds to the limited medical literature on breakdancing injuries, highlighting the physical demands and potential risks of the sport.
