[Spontaneous epidural hematoma. Report of two cases].
Spontaneous epidural hematomas are rarely described in literature. They are associated with infectious diseases of the skull, coagulation disorders, vascular malformations of the dura-mater and metastasis to the skull. The authors report two cases of spontaneous epidural hematoma of different etiologies, and study parameters of hemostasis.
