Vertex Extradural Haemorrhage: a brief review in modern neurosurgery.

摘要

There has been a paucity in the literature concerning Vertex Extradural Haemorrhage (VEH) in the last 20 years and we intend to bring to your attention a brief historical perspective and its management in modern neurosurgery. Zuccarello and Borzone have presented the largest case series on this subject. Poor presenting GCS correlated well with dismal outcome and most patients had an overlying skull fracture or suture diastasis [2, 7]. Haematoma usually originates from superior sagittal sinus (SSS), diploeic vein from bone or bridging vein. The VEH is different compared to epidural haemorrhage (EDH) in the temporal or frontal regions.
