[The clinical manifestations of epidural hematomas in the anterior cranial fossa].

By the character of clinical manifestations, course of the injury, results of surgical treatment two groups of patients were distinguished: patients with isolated hematomas of the frontal region characterized by a paucity of clinical manifestations and patients with epidural hematomas of the frontal region associated with other intracranial lesions and are characterized by a grave course and high lethality.
