Surgical management of traumatic extradural hematomas in children: an analysis of 201 patients at a tertiary neurosurgical center

摘要

Introduction The effects of traumatic extradural hematoma (EDH) are potentially reversible if treated early. Pediatric EDH differs from its adult counterpart because of the differential elastic and adherence properties of skull bone and dura respectively. There is a paucity of literature regarding prognosis and factors predicting the outcome of pediatric EDH. In this study, we aimed to study the factors predicting outcome and prognosis of traumatic EDH in the pediatric age group.
