Posttraumatic synchronous double acute epidural hematomas: Two craniotomies, single skin incision

BACKGROUND: Double epidural hematomas (EDHs) have a higher mortality rate compared to single EDHs and same Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), although double EDHs incidence is less common. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the case of a 34-year-old female who underwent single skin incision and frontotemporal and...

description BACKGROUND: Double epidural hematomas (EDHs) have a higher mortality rate compared to single EDHs and same Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), although double EDHs incidence is less common. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the case of a 34-year-old female who underwent single skin incision and frontotemporal and suboccipital craniotomies for fatal traumatic double acute EDHs, then, a literature review was performed. CONCLUSION: Double EDHs in association with low GCS at presentation and traumatic diastasis of cranial sutures or other maxillofacial injuries are associated to an unfavorable outcome.
