Bifrontal extradural hematomas are uncommon. A 9 year old girl
presented with head injury and inoperable intracranial lesion on
early CT scan with normal neurological status. A repeat CT scan
revealed development of hyperacute EDH without any further neurological
worsening. Patient was operated and evacuation of hematoma was carried
out. The patient made complete recovery. The present case report
emphasizes the need of repeat CT scanning in all head injuries patients
if first scanning is done within 6 hours of injury and discusses
the bifrontal extradural hematomas.
