Summary
Ossified epidural hematomas can occur in children, potentially hindering natural absorption. Careful monitoring is essential for conservative management of pediatric epidural hematomas.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Neurosurgery
- Neuroradiology
- Pediatric Pathology
Background:
- Epidural hematomas are collections of blood between the dura mater and the skull.
- While typically managed conservatively in pediatric cases, ossification can complicate outcomes.
- Ossification of the hematoma capsule is a recognized, though infrequent, complication.
