Abstract

Objective: To investigate the computed tomography findings of epidural hematoma in patient with head trauma. Material: 65 patients diagnosed with traumatic epidural hematoma. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Results: Epidural hematoma was common in men (85%), mean age was 31.03 ± 2.8. Traffic accidents was the main cause of head injury. Common clinical symptoms were headache and nausea. The clinical symptom “lucid interval” was found in 15.4% of patients. Temporal region was the common location (53.8%). 93.8% of epidural hematoma were unilateral. “Swirl sign” was found in 4.6% of patients. There was statistically significantly correlation between hematoma volume and midline displacement with Glasgow comma scale.
