title: Rapid resolution of acute epidural hematoma. Report of two cases.
abstract: Two cases of acute epidural hematoma with rapid resolution followed by a benign clinical course are reported. Because of the concomitant increase in the epicranial hematoma over a linear skull fracture in each case, the acute epidural hematoma was presumed to have been decompressed into the epicranial region through the fracture line.
