Breakdancers may risk ‘headspin hole’ caused by repetitive headspins, doctors warn

Breakdancers may risk ‘headspin hole’ caused by repetitive headspins, doctors warn

Breakdancers are known for their impressive and acrobatic moves, but a recent case study published in the journal BMJ Case Reports warns of a unique risk associated with one of their signature moves—the headspin.

Dubbed the “headspin hole” or “breakdance bulge,” this condition manifests as a protruding lump on the scalp, often accompanied by hair loss and tenderness. The complexities and physical demands of breakdancing make practitioners particularly prone to injuries, with sprains, strains, and tendinitis being common. Additionally, head and brain injuries, including subdural hematomas, have been reported.

Prolonged breakdancing can lead to a condition known as “breakdancer overuse syndrome,” which includes various ailments such as carpal tunnel syndrome, swollen tendons, and even hair loss and scalp irritation. In a recent case, doctors treated a man in his early 30s who had been performing headspin maneuvers for over 19 years.

Despite experiencing hair loss and the development of a lump on his head, the man continued to practice headspins regularly. However, when the lump grew larger and his scalp became tender, he sought medical attention. A head scan revealed thickening of the skin, tissue, and skull around the lump, prompting surgical removal.

While the lump was successfully removed, the surrounding skin tissue remained thickened. The man was satisfied with the outcome and no longer felt the need to conceal his scalp with a cap. This case highlights the importance of recognizing chronic scalp conditions in breakdancers and the potential effectiveness of surgical intervention.

It’s important to note that this report represents only one case, with limited published findings on similar conditions in breakdancers. Nevertheless, the authors emphasize the significance of early detection and treatment for such injuries in this population.

This case serves as a reminder of the risks associated with repetitive headspins in breakdancers and the importance of proactive healthcare in managing these injuries.
