title: [Traumatic extradural hematoma in childhood and normal early computed tomography: report of 2 cases].
abstract: The cases of two children with traumatic extradural hematoma with an early normal CT scan are reported. Consciousness impairment occurred in them respectively 20 and 60 hours after admission, and CT at this occasion evidenced extradural hematoma. Serial neurological examinations are recommended for children with large traumatic cephalohematoma associated or not to skull fracture and in whom an initial early CT was normal, since they can lately develop extradural hematoma.
