(1) Introduction: Since electric scooters were launched in 2017, they have become increasingly popular worldwide and a cause of childhood trauma. (2) Case reports: This paper has a double-fold purpose: it reports two cases of epidural hematomas and compares them with electric scooter-related head trauma in the literature. An overview of the literature on this topic was performed to make such a comparison. Our cases are one of almost 52 cm and one of 129 cm both in two eight-year-olds. (3) Discussion: Although usually mild, traumatic brain injuries following e-scooter falls can also be moderate and severe. Reduced helmet use, high speed, and a lack of experience are the perfect set-up for potential severe injuries. Intracranial bleeds are not frequent, and epidural hematomas are rare in such cases, but they can significantly impact the individual, community, and healthcare system. No other medium- or large-sized epidural hematomas were reported in children sustaining electric scooter-related head trauma. (4) Conclusions: Our review parallels the literature and our hospital's experience. Although there are both similarities and discrepancies between our cases and the literature, mild trauma should not be disregarded, for it may hide serious complications requiring immediate surgery.
(1) 引言：自2017年电动滑板车推出以来，它们在全球范围内越来越受欢迎，同时也成为儿童创伤的一个原因。(2) 病例报告：本文有双重目的：报告两例硬膜外血肿病例，并将它们与文献中与电动滑板车相关的头部创伤进行比较。为了进行这种比较，对该主题的文献进行了综述。我们的病例是两名8岁儿童，一名几乎52厘米，另一名129厘米。(3) 讨论：虽然电动滑板车摔倒后的创伤性脑损伤通常较轻，但也可能是中度和重度的。头盔使用减少、速度快和缺乏经验是造成潜在严重伤害的完美组合。颅内出血并不常见，在这种情况下硬膜外血肿很少见，但它们会对个人、社区和医疗系统产生重大影响。在遭受与电动滑板车相关头部创伤的儿童中，没有其他中型或大型硬膜外血肿的报告。(4) 结论：我们的综述与文献以及我们医院的经验一致。虽然我们的病例与文献之间既有相似之处也有差异，但轻度创伤不应被忽视，因为它可能隐藏着需要立即手术的严重并发症。
