Typically, they form contralateral to the injured side, with an overlying fracture. We present a subset which developed EDH immediately after decompressive-hemi-craniectomy for TBI, most without an evidence of fracture, and not limited to contralateral location.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Methods: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Nine such patients were retrospectively identified. Plausible mechanisms, management issues and outcomes have been discussed.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>All nine patients were victims of severe-TBI. Six did not have any skull-fractures. Eight showed hemispheric-injuries while one had bifrontal-contusions. In hemispheric-injuries, midline-shift was at least 8 mm except one with midline-shift of 6 mm. The EDH was straddling the midline in 2 (bifrontal-1, bi-occipital-1), and juxtaposed to the previous craniectomy in 1, apart from a contralateral-bleed in 6; all, except one, needed evacuation. In most patients, venous-source of bleed was identified. All had improved from their preoperative Glasgow coma scale (GCS) at follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A fracture need not always co-exist in EDH following decompressive craniectomy. However, an extra-caution is suggested in its presence. Given the need for surgical-evacuation in most patients and an inability to assess immediate postoperative-GCS in severely head-injured, a routine postoperative-computed tomography is recommended to avoid overlooking such potentially treatable condition.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_484_2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T07:09:58Z","timestamp":1630912198000},"page":"443","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Spectrum
