Abstract
|
|
|
|
The authors report a case of chronic expanding epidural hematoma (EDH). A 12-year-old boy presented with headache, nausea, and vomiting 12 days after headtrauma. Chronic epidural hematoma was diagnosed and craniotomy was performed at post trauma 14 days. The authors comfirmed the pathologic findings of the hematoma membrane, which appeared to play a key role in hematoma expansion, much like that of chronic subdural hematoma. Delayed expansion of chronic EDH should be borne in mind when planningconservative management.
