Chronic epidural haematoma. A non-typical course of extradural haemorrhage

Abstract

4 Patients with chronic epidural haematoma are presented. Emphasis is placed a) clinically on symptoms of an intracranial hypertension and b) on the C.T.-scan demonstrating the presence of a homogeneous clot. At operation the findings were a clotted haematoma encapsulated on the dural side and the still leaking blood vessel.
