Posterior Fossa Extradural Haematomas: Operate or Conserve?
Background: Posterior fossa extradural haematomas (PFEDHs) are an uncommon entity, accounting for only 4 to 12.9% of all extradural haematomas encountered in clinical practice (EDHs). They have a characteristic clinical presentation, which if detected early, can be life saving. Most PFEDHs are operated owing to the imminent propensity of brainstem compression and death. However, a growing numbe...

Two cases are described here: in one, infection was present; in the other, there was a berry aneurysm of the middle meningeal artery with a small parietal dural angioma. Operation was successful in both patients.
متن کاملAbnormal brain scan with subacute extradural haematomas.
Four patients are described with proven subacute extradural haematomas, each with an abnormal cerebral scan of diagnostic assistance. A possible mechanism of production of the subacute extradural haematoma is discussed, and appears to be similar to the mechanism involved in the subacute subdural haematoma. The means by which the abnormal scan results in such cases is also examined, from which i...
