This condition is rapidly fatal if not identified and treated accordingly, due to the proximity of the brain stem. Prompt diagnosis is made by early computed tomography (CT) of the head and emergent evacuation is of utmost importance.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description: <\/jats:title>\nA 28-year-old male presented to the emergency room with complaints of headache and vomiting following a road traffic accident. CT scan revealed EDH around the transverse sinus extending into supratentorial and infratentorial compartment bilaterally. The patient was planned for emergency surgery but relatives did not give consent initially they agreed after 24 h when the patient became unconscious. A midline incision was made and a small infratentorial craniectomy with two burr holes was made bilaterally above the transverse sinus. Excellent recovery was seen following a surgical procedure.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nPosterior fossa EDH is a rare but potentially fatal entity. Bilateral extension in supratentorial and infratentorial compartments makes it a \u201cquartet of catastrophe.\u201d Prompt diagnosis and emergent evacuation lead to excellent recovery. Two burr holes in supratentorial compartments and a small infratentorial craniectomy can avoid sinus injury.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_515_2023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]],"date-time":"2023-10-13T08:22:59Z","timestamp":1697185379000},"page":"369","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quartet of catastrophe: Bilateral epidural hematoma in both supratentorial and infratentorial compartments \u2013 A case report and a novel surgical technique to approach"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Vikrant","family":"Yadav","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nityanand","family":"Pandey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_515_2023\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.4103\/1793-5482.150008","article-title":"Bilateral posterior fossa and temporo-occipital extra-dural hematomas: A simple novel technique","volume":"12","author":"Aggarwal","year":"2017","journal-title":"Asian J Neurosurg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_515_2023\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"433","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.218.2.r01fe09433","article-title":"The swirl sign","volume":"218","author":"Al-Nakshabandi","year":"2001","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_515_2023\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"122","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cjtee.2019.09.001","article-title":"Supra-and infra-tentorial subacute extradural hematoma","volume":"23","author":"Al-Zekri","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chin J Traumatol"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_515_2023\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"270","DOI":"10.4103\/1817-1745.165701","article-title":"Bilateral occipital extradural hematoma in a child","volume":"10","author":"Pandey","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Pediatr Neurosci"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_515_2023\/ref-5","first-page":"801","article-title":"Epidural hematoma of posterior fossa","volume":"78","author":"Sadie","year":"1978","journal-title":"N Y State J Med"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_515_2023\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.4103\/1793-5482.228536","article-title":"Traumatic posterior Fossa extradural hematoma: Experience at Level I trauma center","volume":"13","author":"Verma","year":"2018","journal-title":"Asian J Neurosurg"}],"container-title":["Surgical Neurology International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/quartet-of-catastrophe-bilateral-epidural-hematoma-in-both-supratentorial-and-infratentorial-compartments-a-case-report-and-a-novel-surgical-technique-to-approach\/","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/surgicalint-articles\/quartet-of-catastrophe-bilateral-epidural-hematoma-in-both-supratentorial-and-infratentorial-compartments-a-case-report-and-a-novel-surgical-technique-to-approach\/","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]],"date-time":"2023-10-13T08:23:04Z","timestamp":1697185384000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/surgicalint-articles\/quartet-of-catastrophe-bilateral-epidural-hematoma-in-both-supratentorial-and-infratentorial-compartments-a-case-report-and-a-novel-surgical-technique-to-approach\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]]},"references-count":6,"alternative-id":["10.25259\/SNI_515_2023"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/sni_515_2023","relation":{},"ISSN":["2152-7806","2229-5097"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2152-7806","type":"electronic"},{"value":"2229-5097","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]]},"article-number":"369"}}
