“…When we look at the resolution times in pediatric cases, the longest time was 72 hours [6], and the shortest time was only one hour [10]. Bullock et al reported that epidural hematoma less than 30 cm 3 with less than 15 mm thickness and with less than 5 mm midline shift in patients with a Glasgow Coma Score greater than 8 without focal deficit could be managed nonoperatively with serial computed tomographic scanning and close observation in a neurosurgical center [13].…”

Acute epidural hematoma is a critical emergency all around the world, and its aggressive diagnosis and treatment are of vital importance. Emergent surgical evacuation of the hematoma is known as standard management; however, conservative procedures are also used for small ones. Spontaneous rapid resolution of these hematomas has also been reported in eight pediatric cases. Various theories have been proposed to explain the underlying pathophysiology of this resolution. Herein, we are reporting a new pediatric case with spontaneously resolving acute epidural hematoma 12 hours after admission to the emergency room.

“…Several studies have reported incidence of DEDH in patients with minor head trauma and linear fracture to be approximately 1%. [27] In most series, incidence of DEDH in patients with or without fractures was approximately 9-10%. This number is likely to increase as CT becomes is more widely used.…”

BACKGROUND: Though traumatic posterior fossa epidural hematoma (PFEDH) is rare, the associated rates of morbidity and mortality are higher than those of supratentorial epidural hematoma (SEDH). Signs and symptoms may be silent and slow, but rapid deterioration may set in, resulting in death. With the more frequent use of computed tomography (CT), early diagnosis can be achieved in patients with cranial fractures who have suffered traumatic injury to the posterior fossa. However, some hematomas appear insignificant or are absent on initial tomography scans, and can only be detected by serial CT scans. These are called delayed epidural hematomas (EDHs). The association of EDHs in the supratentorial-infratentorial compartments with linear fracture and delayed EDH (DEDH) was presently investigated.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] However, it has been increasingly recognized that there is a subgroup of patients, where the EDH disappeared rapidly without surgical evacuation. 1,4,5,[8][9][10][11][12][13] In present article, we report a case of an elderly gentleman whose follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan showed reduction in the size of acute EDH and review the relevant literature.…”

It has been increasingly recognized that there is a subgroup of patients, the extradural hematoma can disappear rapidly without surgical evacuation. In present, we report a case of 65-year-old gentleman whose follow-up computed tomography scan, showed reduction in the size of acute epidural hematoma and review the relevant literature. However, we need to remember if there is no improvement in the neurological status of the patient, a follow-up scan still is needed to assess the size of the hematoma.
