ABSTRACT |
Extradural hematomas are usually acute and rapidly progressing and the lucid intervals generally varies from a few moments to several hours. However, not uncommonly, an epidural hematoma may have a lucid interval lasting weeks, months or even years, which may present as a chronic epidural hematoma. Two cases have recently come under our care, demonstrating a paucity of objective neurologic abnormalities, but with extensive compressive extradural hemorrhage, which were found incidentally during the screening examination with the CT scanning. |
