Los hematomas epidurales de fosa posterior tienen una incidencia significativamente inferior que los supratentoriales.
Presentamos un estudio retrospectivo sobre ocho casos de hematoma extradural de fosa craneal posterior diagnosticados con tomografía computada e intervenidos quirúrgicamente con total recuperación en todos los pacientes.
Se realiza una revisión clínica sobre este tipo de hematomas recalcando la importancia del T.C. para el diagnóstico precoz a fin de obtener unos buenos resultados quirúrgicos.
Extradural hematomas of the posterior fossa are much less frequent than supratentorial hematomas.
The authors report a series of eight patients with posterior fossa epidural hematomas. Computed tomography scans were diagnostic of a posterior fossa epidural hematoma in all cases. All the patients underwent suboccipital craniectomy with good recovery.
The authors emphasize the importance of CT scan in determining a more precise diagnosis and confirm that an early operation is the main factor influencing the final outcome.
