Abstract

The Authors have reported a series of 15 patients with acute epidural hematomas (EDHs) that were not evacuated surgically. These EDHs were diagnosed 6 hours after injury and were followed by serial CT scanning. All patients showed resolution of the hematoma on CT scanning over a period of 2 to 5 weeks. Factors that influence outcome of medical treatment have been discussed.
