title: [Post-traumatic posterior cranial fossa hematomas from material of the Department of Neurosurgery, Silesian Medical Academy in Katowice].
abstract: The location of posttraumatic haematomas in the posterior cranial fossa is rare and the correct diagnosis was difficult before the advent of CT. In the years 1976-1989 in the group of 2450 cases of craniocerebellar injuries treated in the Department of Neurosurgery, Silesian Medical Academy 24 patients had posterior fossa haematomas, but only one of them (out of 550 cases of injuries) was diagnosed without CT. In 20 cases surgical treatment was carried out with good and satisfactory results in 16 cases (80%). The authors stress the importance of early CT and surgical intervention.
