Chronic simultaneous bilateral extradural haematomas

Abstract

Bilateral extradural haematomas are rare, usually acute, and generally associated with severe trauma and a high mortality. We report the case of a 39-year-old man who presented with chronic simultaneous bilateral extradural haematomas in whom the trauma appeared to be trivial and initially unrecognised and in whom a unilateral evacuation was curative.
