Open publisher page 17 citations

Abstract

✓ The author describes five instances of extradural hematoma that developed during craniotomy. The hematomas extended basally from an original craniotomy near the midline and four required immediate additional surgical exposure. This rare complication should be remembered during craniotomy if the brain appears to be swelling without obvious reason.
