    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Epidural hematomas are typically associated with skull fractures.
    • The location described is highly unusual for traumatic epidural hematomas.

    Observation:

    • A case of acute traumatic epidural hematoma is presented.
    • The hematoma extended from the odontoid process to the dorsum sella.

    Findings:

    • The formation of this extradural hematoma appears linked to patient age.
    • A severe hyperflexion injury is implicated as the causative mechanism.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of potential locations for traumatic epidural hematomas.
    • Highlights the importance of considering hyperflexion injuries in specific patient demographics.
