Acute Epidural Haematoma

Epidural haematoma (EH) is a traumatic accumulation of blood between the inner table of the skull and the dural membrane. Epidural haematoma that occurs at the opposite side of the site of injury, namely contrecoup EH, is a rare entity. We present a 56-year-old man who sustained head injury. The initial examination showed a laceration at his left frontotemporal region. Computed tomography of brain showed left frontotemporal linear fracture and right temporoparietal contrecoup EH. The EH was operated on and the patient was discharged uneventfully. Acute EH is a neurosurgical emergency, early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for optimal outcomes.
