This rare condition is rapidly fatal unless identified and intervened timely. Because of limited space in posterior fossa, comparatively small volume can cause clinical deterioration. Early diagnosis by cranial computed tomography and emergent evacuation is vital for a good outcome. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at Level I trauma center at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. Hospital medical records were reviewed from September 2007 to June 2015. There were 856 cases of acute EDHs and of these 69 cases had PFEDHs. Records of patients with PFEDHs were reviewed for the mode of injury, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at admission, imaging, type of intervention, outcome, and follow-up. GCS was assessed at 6 months and 12 months follow-up. Pertinent literature is reviewed. Results: Of these 69 patients, 51 were males and 18 females. The mean age of patients was 28.6 years (range 4\u201343 years). Forty-three patients had GCS 15 at admission, and only 4 of them had admission GCS &lt;8. Mean EDH volume was 29.2 ml. Sixty-six patients were operated, three managed conservatively. Sixty-seven patients were discharged, of which, 56 (81.1%) had GCS 15. Two patients died. Most common associated injuries were long bone fractures (18, 26.1%) followed by blunt injury thorax (11, 15.9%). Mean follow-up duration was 69.2 months (range 6\u201394 months). At 6 months follow-up, 61 (88.4%) patients had good recovery (Glasgow Outcome Score [GOS] 5) and at 12 months, 62 (89.8%) had GOS 5. Conclusion: PFEDH are rare. They are usually associated with occipital bone fractures and may also have a supratentorial hematoma. It may be rapidly fatal due to the expansion of hematoma and compromise of the posterior cranial fossa space leading to brainstem compression, tonsillar herniation, and\/or obstructive hydrocephalus. Early diagnosis and emergent evacuation lead to good outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/1793-5482.228536","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,27]],"date-time":"2018-03-27T11:26:49Z","timestamp":1522150009000},"page":"227-232","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Traumatic posterior fossa extradural hematoma: Experience at level I trauma center"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Satish","family":"Verma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sachin","family":"Borkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pankaj","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vivek","family":"Tandon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hitesh","family":"Gurjar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sumit","family":"Sinha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guru","family":"Satyarthee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deepak","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deepak","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bhawani","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosciences Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.228536-1","first-page":"27","volume-title":"Traumatic epidural hematomas in posterior cranial fossa","author":"Asanin","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Clin Croat"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.228536-2","first-page":"541","volume-title":"Posterior fossa epidural hematoma during childhood","author":"Ammirati","year":"1984","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.228536-3","first-page":"226","volume-title":"Traumatic epidural haematoma of the posterior fossa in childhood: 16 new cases and a review of the literature","author":"Berker","year":"2003","journal-title":"Br J Neurosurg"},{"key":"key-10.4103\/1793-5482.228536-4","unstructured":"Samudrala S, Cooper PR.
