EPIDURAL HEMATOMAS IN THE POSTERIOR CRANIAL FOSSA

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1993
A review of 89 cases of posterior fossa epidural hematoma (PFEDH) is presented. The mortality rate was 17.9%. In 44 cases (49.4%) there were associated intracranial hematomas. In 30 cases the hematoma was localized within the boundary of the foramen magnum and the transverse and sigmoid sinuses ("pure" PFEDH).

Epidural hematoma from a cranial eosinophilic granuloma

Child's Nervous System, 2001
The formation of an epidural hematoma from an eosinophilic granuloma of the skull is an exceptional occurrence. A 9-year-old boy presented with severe headache, somnolence and vomiting following a minor head injury. Cranial computerized tomography scan showed a seemingly depressed skull fracture together with an epidural hematoma in evolution.

Traumatic epidural hematomas of the posterior cranial fossa

Surgical Neurology, 2008
Traumatic EDHs of the posterior cranial fossa are rare and have a higher mortality than supratentorial localizations. Early diagnosis of TEHPCF and prompt surgical evacuation provide excellent recovery. Active use of cranial CT scanning has taken a major role in the diagnosis, surgical indication, close observation, and strategy planning.

Epidural hematoma in children: Do cranial sutures act as a barrier?

Journal of Neuroradiology, 2009
Epidural hematoma (EDH) is secondary to laceration of meningeal vessels (arteries or veins), diploic veins or dural sinuses in head injuries. It is widely believed that EDH does not cross cranial sutures, allowing its differentiation from subdural hematoma (SDH). The goal of this study was to determine the percentage of EDH that crosses cranial sutures.

The unmet global burden of cranial epidural hematomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2022
Approximately 69 million people suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI) annually. Patients with isolated epidural hematomas (EDH) with access to timely surgical intervention often sustain favorable outcomes. Efforts to ensure safe, timely, and affordable access to EDH treatment may offer tremendous benefits.A comprehensive literature search was ...

Treatment of cranial epidural hematoma in a neonate by needle aspiration of a communicating cephalhematoma

European Journal of Pediatrics, 2009
A newborn presented on day 15 of life with an epidural hematoma, extending through a diastatic sutura squamosa in an external cephalhematoma. There was no skull fracture. The cephalhematoma was punctured twice with 24-h interval, reducing both the cephalhematoma and the epidural component.

Computed Tomography of Cranial Subdural and Epidural Hematomas

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1977
Forty-one cases of subdural and nine of epidural hematomas were studied with regard to attenuation and the time between trauma and computed tomography scanning. The attenuation of the hematomas showed a consistent decrease with time during the first 4 weeks.

[Epidural hematomas in the posterior cranial fossa].

Rozhledy v chirurgii : mesicnik Ceskoslovenske chirurgicke spolecnosti, 1990
In the course of twenty years 92 patients with intracranial epidural haematomas (EH) were operated. In five these patients, i.e. 5.4%, the EH was in the posterior cranial fossa (EHPF). Focal symptoms of compression of the cerebellum and the lower cranial nerves developed only in subacute EHPF.

[Epidural hematoma of the posterior cranial fossa].

Neuro-Chirurgie, 1990
The use of CT scans has entirely modified the prognosis of epidural hematomas of the posterior cranial fossa. The analysis of a personal series of 20 cases diagnosed and treated over a 10 year period, that is 6.5% of E.D.H. cases seen in this hospital, has enabled us: to propose an anatomical study regrouping the different topographic forms observed in

A Patient With Rectal Cancer With Cranial Metastasis Resulting in Epidural Hematoma

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery
The incidence of colorectal cancer ranks third among all types of cancer. Effective treatment for colorectal cancer patients has not only improved their survival rate but it has also increased the possibility of tumor metastasis. It has been reported that the incidence of brain metastasis in colorectal cancer is low, but the improvement in patient ...
