title: Epidural hemorrhage, a rare complication of otitis media.
abstract: Extradural hemorrhage caused by otitis media is so rare that only four cases were found in a search of the literature. Certain striking similarities and the singular absence of a major demonstrable bleeding vessel in all cases appear more than coincidental and we have proposed a theory to explain the cause of the hemorrhage.
