Abstract

On CT scan a rapidly accumulating extradural hematoma can be crescentic in shape.We report a case of hyperacute extradural hematoma mimicking acute subdural hematoma on CT scan.Detailed and careful evaluation of images is necessary to make a correct diagnosis in these cases.Whether it is acute subdural hematoma or extradural hematoma, it should not delay the surgical management as early intervention will result in good recovery and any delay can be fatal.
