Bilateral cranial vault fractures can lead to delayed epidural hematomas. Prompt computed tomography (CT) imaging with bone and brain windows is crucial for diagnosis.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Radiology
Trauma Medicine

Background:

Bilateral lateral fractures of the cranial vault are rare injuries.
Epidural hematomas are often associated with head trauma.

Observation:

A patient with bilateral lateral cranial vault fractures developed asynchronous bilateral epidural hematomas following an automobile accident.
The hematomas presented with delayed sequelae.

Findings:

Computed tomography (CT) imaging is essential for diagnosing cranial vault fractures and associated intracranial pathologies.
Utilizing both brain and bone window settings on CT scans is critical for comprehensive evaluation.

Implications:

This case highlights the potential for delayed complications from seemingly simple cranial vault fractures.

Radiologists and clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for delayed epidural hematomas in patients with bilateral lateral fractures.

Standardized CT imaging protocols including specific window settings are vital for accurate diagnosis and management of traumatic brain injuries.
