Abstract

We successfully treated by nonsurgical methods 15 children with laminar epidural hematomas (EH), with minimal neurological symptoms and no signs of brain herniation. These EH were discovered 30 minutes to 5 days after head injury. The majority were localized in the parietal region. All children recovered without surgery from 2 to 12 days after hospitalization and all had evidence on CT scan of spontaneous clot reabsorption. We discuss the criteria for patient selection for this kind of treatment on EH in children.
