Bilateral epidural hematoma in a neonate.
A skull bone fracture was detected in a neonate immediately after filling down. Bilateral epidural hematoma was diagnosed by plain CT scans. Craniotomy and evacuation of hematoma was done when the neurological signs were worsening. Epidural hematoma was documented communicating, via the fracture site with the overlying cephalohematoma. Good recovery was achieved following the operation. The longterm follow-up of this patient is mandatory.
