Seven cases of posterior fossa extradural hematoma (PFEDH) are presented. There were four males and three females. One case occurred in an adult, the remaining six cases in patients 16 years of age or younger, two of whom were infants. In each case the hematoma resulted from a blow to the posterior part of the head. Each patient showed local evidence of trauma to the scalp, and a radiographic appearance of an occipital linear fracture crossing the path of the torcular Herophili or the transverse sinus. The clinical picture varied. Three patients suffered immediate transient unconsciousness. Three others suffered sudden respiratory arrest after a seemingly stable course of several hours in the hospital, but responded well to resuscitation maneuvers. Computerized tomography scans were obtained in three patients; in three others no specialized neurodiagnostic studies were feasible; in one patient, precise diagnostic documentation was achieved by Conray ventriculography. All seven patients were operated on and all survived. Two patients had associated surgical intracranial lesions: an underlying subdural hygroma of the posterior fossa in one, and a contralateral supratentorial temporal subdural hematoma in the other. Six patients have returned fully to their previous activities. One patient is steadily improving.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1983.59.4.0664","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,8]],"date-time":"2009-05-08T16:17:29Z","timestamp":1241799449000},"page":"664-672","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Extradural hematoma of the posterior cranial fossa"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Rom\u00e1n","family":"Garza-Mercado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"J Comput Assist Tomogr","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1097\/00004728-197710000-00011","article-title":"Computed tomography of cranial subdural and epidural hematomas: variation of attenuation to time and clinical events such as rebleeding.","volume":"1","author":"Bergstr\u00f6m","year":"1977"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Surg Neurol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"300","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-3019(82)90353-6","article-title":"Chronic extradural hematoma.","volume":"18","author":"Bullock","year":"1982"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Neurosurgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-197901000-00012","article-title":"Chronic extradural hematoma: case report.","volume":"4","author":"Burres","year":"1979"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"Ann Surg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-195310000-00003","article-title":"Extradural hematomas of the posterior fossa.","volume":"138","author":"Campbell","year":"1953"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"Surg Gynecol Obstet","first-page":"257","article-title":"Epidural hemorrhage and the skull of children.","volume":"92","author":"Campbell","year":"1951"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"465","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1965.22.5.0465","article-title":"Subdural hematoma of the posterior fossa.
