Epidural haematoma: Computerized tomography (CT) parameters in 19 patients

Abstract

Between the years 1984 to 1989, 624 urgent brain CT examinations were performed for head-trauma patients in the Tel-Aviv Medical Center. In 19 patients, epidural haematomas were diagnosed. Different radiological parameters were discussed such as homogeneity of the haematoma, midline shift, ventricular collapse, obliteration of the perimesencephalic cistern and the presence of additional brain damage.
