ABSTRACT
The authors studied 58 patients, under 12 years of age, admitted to the Emergency Room of the Sao Paulo University Hospital between September 1987 and November 1991 with the diagnosis of traumatic extradural hematoma. Emphasis was given to the etiology of injury, the time interval from head injury to emergency room evaluation, the clinical features and the outcome after surgical and nonsurgical management. The site of hematoma was defined and correlated with the presence of skull fractures. Computerized tomography is the main diagnostic method, although it is not definitive. Fifteen patients were treated nonsurgically according to rigid clinical and radiological parameters. The overall mortality rate was 3.4%.
