Vertex epidural hematoma with dual suture diastasis: a case report and review of the literature

抄録

Vertex epidural hematoma (VEDH) is relatively rare. Several reports have described atypical chronic and non-surgical cases. Because of variations among VEDH, it was difficult to properly diagnose prior to the computed tomography era. We herein describe a case of VEDH with dual suture diastasis. Our search of the literature yielded 39 cases with similar clinical courses. Clinical characteristics of VEDH, including the impact distribution, bone injury and bleeding source, are reported. Important considerations for diagnosis and surgical treatment are also discussed.
