[Subacute epidural hematoma].
Eleven patients are reported who had subacute epidural haematoma diagnosed by CT 48 hours after craniocerebral trauma. These haematomas, most frequently, were located outside the temporal region. In some cases capsule of the haematoma could be recognized. The indication to surgical treatment was increasing intensity of intracranial pressure and development or persistence of the signs of focal CNS injury. Effective conservative treatment was given to patients with good general condition in whom CT showed no shifting of midline structures over 5 mm, and the fissure of the fracture was not lying transversely to the course of middle meningeal artery branches.
