  • Title: [Diagnostic problems in epidural hematoma of the posterior cranial fossa].
    Author: Moskała M, Gościński I, Cichoński J, Traczewski W.
    Journal: Neurol Neurochir Pol; 1997; 31(6):1255-61. PubMed ID: 9678999.
    Abstract:
    Posttraumatic posterior cranial fossa haematoma is a rare occurrence. In our material it accounted for 1.5% of all intracranial haematomas. Due to its infrequency and diagnostic difficulties these patients are referred with delay to neurosurgeons and often die with signs of brain stem lesion. The reported case was a 25-year-old man with this haematoma and considerable diagnostic difficulties were encountered despite the application of modern imaging techniques. These difficulties hamper the qualification of the patient for operation which is the method of choice in these cases.
