Supra- and infra-tentorial subacute extradural hematoma
Abstract
Extradural hematoma (EDH) is a rare but serious complication of brain injury. The supra- and infra-tentorial EDH is even rarer and only a few articles focusing on this topic have been published. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific but early diagnosis of supra- and infra-tentorial EDH and prompt treatment are mandatory to avoid complications. We report this case of a supra- and infra-tentorial subacute EDH on a 4 years old child. Keywords: Extradural, Hematoma, Infra-tentorial, Supra-tentorial
