A consecutive unselected series of 66 patients operated on for epidural hematoma between 1974 and 1981 is presented. Several parameters (age, sex, etc.) are analyzed and compared with those of the literature. The outcome is referred and discussed. The mortality rate was 18%. These were the 5 factors that most influence the outcome: (1) patient's age; (2) rate of development of the hematoma; (3) associated brain lesions; (4) neurological status at the time of surgery; (5) interval between injury and surgery. The introduction of Computed Tomography (CT) in neurotraumatological practice, has been followed by improvement of the results also in epidural hematomas.
本文呈现了1974年至1981年间连续选取的66例接受硬膜外血肿手术的患者。分析了几个参数（年龄、性别等）并与文献中的参数进行比较。对结果进行了提及和讨论。死亡率为18%。以下是对结果影响最大的5个因素：（1）患者年龄；（2）血肿发展速度；（3）相关脑损伤；（4）手术时的神经状态；（5）受伤与手术之间的间隔时间。计算机断层扫描（CT）在神经创伤学实践中的引入，也使硬膜外血肿的治疗结果得到了改善。
