    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Trauma Medicine
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Extradural hematomas are serious traumatic brain injuries often requiring urgent neurosurgical intervention.
    • Sports-related head injuries can lead to significant morbidity if appropriate protective equipment is not used.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with extradural hematomas on the same day at a regional neurosurgical unit.
    • Both patients sustained their injuries while participating in sports without wearing recommended safety helmets.

    Findings:

    • Despite the severity of the injuries, both patients recovered fully without any detectable long-term neurological deficits.
    • Prompt neurosurgical care was crucial in achieving favorable outcomes for these patients.
