Although many require immediate surgical evacuation, some are observed for stability and followed up conservatively with serial imaging or enlarge slowly overtime, similar to chronic subdural hematomas. Those in the latter category may present with vague symptoms such as diplopia or headache and are often found on routine outpatient evaluation. When concerning findings such as significant mass effect are present, surgical evacuation is necessary.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Here, we present the case of a 32-year-old man who presented with diplopia 6 weeks after experiencing head trauma and was found to have a chronic epidural hematoma. On resection, thick, inflammatory tissue was observed and carefully resected, revealing normal dura underneath. Six weeks after evacuation of the hematoma, the patient had near-complete resolution of his diplopia and complete resolution of his epidural hematoma.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Given the consistency and nature of the fibrous material observed intraoperatively in this case, near-complete resection of the tissue was likely necessary to help facilitate adequate reexpansion of brain parenchyma and improve clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_480_2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,23]],"date-time":"2021-08-23T19:10:38Z","timestamp":1629745838000},"page":"420","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Chronic epidural hematoma presenting with diplopia"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jaims","family":"Lim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, United States."},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo, New York, United States."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven B.","family":"Housley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, United States."},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo, New York, United States."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas","family":"Drumsta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, United States."},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Eric County Medical Center, Buffalo, New York, United States."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard M.","family":"Spiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, United States."},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo, New York, United States."},{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, United States."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_480_2021\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clineuro.2003.08.001","article-title":"Chronic epidural hematoma of the vertex","volume":"106","author":"Bonilha","year":"2003","journal-title":"Clin Neurol Neurosurg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_480_2021\/ref-2","first-page":"285","article-title":"Ossified epidural hematoma, Report of a case with epilepsy","volume":"29","author":"Cambria","year":"1985","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Sci"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_480_2021\/ref-3","first-page":"1619","article-title":"Large chronic epidural hematoma with calcification: A case report","volume":"64","author":"de Oliveira Sillero","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Trauma"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_480_2021\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"508","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-198005000-00002","article-title":"Chronic epidural hematomas","volume":"6","author":"Hirsh","year":"1980","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_480_2021\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"488","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1973.38.4.0488","article-title":"Chronic extradural hematomas.
