Abstract
Our recent experience with four cases of acute extradural hematoma found in neurologically intact or mildly symptomatic patients is reported. These patients did not require operation; complete resolution of the hematoma was demonstrated within 1 month in three cases and within 4 months in the last case. Although far from being codified, nonsurgical treatment of extradural hematomas in some selected patients seems to be feasible. The computed tomographic findings (size and location of the hematoma, midline shift) in these cases are discussed.Keywords
