Abstract

• The impression gathered from the literature on epidural hematoma at the vertex is that knowledge of this hematoma is still scanty. Thest hematomas are rarely described as specific pathological entities. For this reason we thought it worthwhile to review the cases reported in the available literature. Seven cases of vertex epidural hematomas enccuntered in patients admitted over a 3-year period at the Ewha Womans University Hospital are presented. Clinical and neuroadiological findings, treatment and results are reported.
