Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Extradural hematoma (EDH) represents 2.7-4% of traumatic brain injury .EDH is a potentially lethal condition which is easily cured if diagnosed early .EDH is less frequent in pediatric age group than in adults. The mean age of pediatric patients harboring EDH is between 6 and 10 years and it is rare among infants under the age of 12 months. EDH in children differs significantly from adults in terms of mode of injury, prognostic factors, and outcome. EDH in children may follow a trivial trauma and the course is more insidious and associated skull fractures is less frequent and these factors make it difficult to diagnose and often challenging to manage. The reported rate of mortality from EDH in children is varying from 0% and 17%, The criteria for choosing the surgical evacuation Vs. conservative management in pediatric age group still ill-defined this is what encouraged the investigators to carry this study to present our experience in the management of EDH in children aged less than 18 years.
