Vertex epidural hematomas present unique challenges. Early diagnosis with coronal CT scans and surgical evacuation are crucial for patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Epidural hematomas (EDHs) are typically found in the temporal region.
  • Vertex EDHs pose distinct diagnostic and management challenges compared to convexity EDHs.

Observation:

  • Four cases of vertex epidural hematomas are presented.
  • Diagnosis can be difficult with conventional horizontal CT scanning, requiring high suspicion.
  • Clinical presentation may disproportionately reflect clot volume due to venous obstruction and CSF absorption disruption.

Findings:

  • Coronal computed tomographic (CT) scanning is recommended for suspected vertex EDHs.
  • Surgical evacuation of the hematoma generally leads to clinical improvement.

Implications:
