Abstract

Posttraumatic hemorrhagic contusions are a common sequel of traumatic brain injuries. They occur in around 8% of all traumatic brain injuries. Spontaneous resolution of acute subdural and acute extradural hematomas, although rare, is a recognized entity, but spontaneous resolution of the hemorrhagic component of a contusion within 24 h has not been reported in the literature. We present a patient in whom the hemorrhagic component of her contusion resolved spontaneously over a period of 24 h after injury. The rarity of this case prompted us to this study.
