The insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt can cause sudden decompression of the brain, subsequent to which epidural hematoma occurs due to CSF drainage. To our knowledge, there are only a few cases of acute epidural hematoma in the literature which required acute e...

The offending source of bleeding in a majority of EDHs is secondary to arterial, venous, or bony vascular channel compromise.[4] EHD located on the vertex cerebrum (vEDH) are relatively uncommon, however, may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality if n...
