Chronic extradural haematoma of the posterior fossa. Case report.
The authors present the case of extradural haematoma of the posterior fossa in a four-year-old boy who was successfully operated on seventeen days after he had suffered a blow on his occiput. Emphasis is placed on the importance of an early CT scan in a patient showing any clinical signs of possible intracranial pathology following such injury.
