The occurrence of bilateral extradural hematomas (EDH) is a rare consequence of craniocerebral trauma, and acute symmetrical bilateral epidural hematomas are extremely rare even more so in elderly subjects.
We report the case of an 82-year-old patient who had fallen down a flight of stairs. Scalp examination was consistent with a bi-parietal subgaleal hematoma. Clinically, he was confused with a glascow score of 13/15. His brain scan showed bilateral and symmetrical parietal EDH with simple fractures of both parietal bones. The patient underwent a two-stage evacuation of the extra-dural hematomas.
The management of bilateral EDH cases requires careful planning, adequate exposure, judicious surgical approach and time management for good results.
To our knowledge, no case of bilateral hematoma in an elderly subject has been reported in the literature.
双侧硬膜外血肿(EDH)的发生是颅脑创伤的罕见后果,急性对称性双侧硬膜外血肿极为罕见,在老年患者中更是如此。
我们报告一例82岁患者,其从一段楼梯上摔倒。头皮检查符合双侧顶骨帽状腱膜下血肿。临床上,他意识模糊,格拉斯哥评分为13/15。脑部扫描显示双侧对称性顶叶硬膜外血肿,双侧顶骨均有单纯骨折。该患者接受了两阶段的硬膜外血肿清除术。
双侧硬膜外血肿病例的处理需要精心规划、充分暴露、明智的手术入路和时间管理,以取得良好效果。
据我们所知,文献中尚未报道老年患者双侧血肿的病例。
