Childhood extradural haematomas, not always obvious

Abstract

Extradural haematomas in children are rare, but they may occur following a trivial head injury. We report a case where, following an unrecognised head injury to a three-year-old child, the insidious non-specific presentation of the extradural haematoma led to delay in the diagnosis and treatment.
