GONZALEZ ORLANDI, Yvei et al. Subacute epidural hematoma. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2011, vol.50, n.1, pp. 102-107. ISSN 0034-7493.

This is the case of a patient presenting with right temporoparietal subacute hematoma secondary to a physical act of aggression. In clinical picture at 24 hours there was predominance of headache of moderate intensity with drowsiness and slight psychomotor restlessness. The skull single radiographies didn't show alterations. Symptoms remained despite the medical treatment, thus a single skull axial tomography was carried out showing the presence of a right temporoparietal subacute epidural hematoma with displacement from the middle line structures. A right temporoparietal craniotomy was carried out to evacuation of the posterior hematoma. Patient evolved satisfactorily with a total recovery as much clinical as imaging.

Keywords : Epidural hematoma; subacute epidural hematoma; post-traumatic epidural hematoma.
