  • Title: Extradural haematoma: a rare, but fatal complication of pyknodysostosis.
    Author: Olubaniyi BO, Sinha AK, Bako K, May PL.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2008 Aug; 22(4):594-5. PubMed ID: 18661321.
    Abstract:
    We report a 4-year-old girl with pyknodysostosis who suffered a skull fracture and epidural haematoma following a minor fall. Craniotomy was needed to evacuate the haematoma and prevent mortality. Extradural haematoma in this group of patients is rare, ours being the second case reported in literature.
