Delayed epidural hematoma demonstrated by computed tomography: case report

Z H Rappaport, I Shaked, R Tadmor

    Summary

    Delayed visualization of acute epidural hematoma in children can occur. Repeat computed tomography (CT) scans are crucial for diagnosing head trauma, even after an initial negative result.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Neuroradiology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Acute epidural hematomas require prompt diagnosis and management.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is the primary imaging modality for head injuries.

    Observation:

    • An initial CT scan 2.5 hours post-injury showed no acute findings.
    • Neurological deterioration prompted a repeat CT scan 8 hours after the injury.

    Findings:

    • The repeat CT scan revealed a parietal epidural hematoma.
    • A small cerebellar hematoma was also identified on the repeat scan.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for delayed CT visualization of epidural hematomas.
    • Vigilance in pediatric head trauma patients is essential, irrespective of initial CT results.
