title: Acute bilateral extradural hematomas in a case of osteogenesis imperfecta congenita.
abstract: Acute bilateral extradural hematomas occurred after apparently trivial trauma in a patient suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta congenita. Factors influencing the development of this dramatic complication are peculiar to this rare disorder of bone and connective tissue development and include bony weakness, increased vascular fragility, and possible coagulopathies.
