TI  - Posterior fossa extradural hematomas in children.
PG  - 31-3
AB  - Posterior fossa extradural hematomas (PFEHs) are less frequent than 
      supratentorial extradural hematomas. 9 children operated on for PFEH are 
      reported. There were 5 boys and 4 girls aged from 1 to 16 years. The mode of 
      injury was fall in 6 and traffic accident in 3 cases. Diagnosis of PFEH was made 
      by computed tomography (CT) scanning in 8 cases. In 1 patient, who deteriorated 
      suddenly, respiratory arrest developed before surgery, and the patient died in 
      spite of evacuation of the hematoma. CT scanning enables early diagnosis and 
      reveals the associated supratentorial lesions. Prompt surgical evacuation of 
      PFEHs is the treatment of choice.
