Chronic epidural hematoma of the vertex: problems in detection with computed tomography.
A vertex epidural hematoma of a 21-year-old man was diagnosed by angiography 1 month after head trauma. Two axial computed tomography scans did not reveal the lesion, whereas a coronal computed tomography scan demonstrated the hyperdense hematoma. The problems of detecting vertex lesions with axial computed tomography scans are discussed.
