  • Title: [Extradural hematoma of the posterior fossa. Report of 7 cases].
    Author: Oliveira MA, Araujo JF, Balbo RJ.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1993 Jun; 51(2):243-6. PubMed ID: 8274088.
    Abstract:
    Hematomas of the posterior fossa are an uncommon complication of head injury. Almost invariably they occur after trauma of the occiput, and are associated with skull fracture. Their diagnosis and management have been greatly improved by CT scanning. In the present series, the majority of patients had acute evolution indicating the potential hazard of conservative treatment. Our results (29% mortality) are similar to those previously reported in other series.
