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).

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 ...

[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

Recurrent subtemporal epidural hematoma with second, third and fourth cranial nerve compression

Computerized Radiology, 1984
A patient who was admitted with visual loss and, third and fourth cranial nerve paresis as only evidence of a recurrent epidural hematoma is presented. A review of some of the mechanisms suggested in the literature to explain the etiology of ocular signs in the presence of extracerebral collections is offered.

[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.

Clival Epidural Hematoma in Traumatic Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsies Combined with Cervical Injuries

Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2010
Eight patients sustained a combination of clival epidural hematoma, traumatic sixth cranial nerve palsy (6 NP), and occipitocervical injury. This combination of features has been sparsely described. Whether the hematoma, which represents tectorial membrane injury, is merely a marker for 6 NP and occipitocervical injury or is causative is unresolved ...

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.

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 ...
