Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) has become a major adjunct in the treatment of intracranial lesions, including those caused by head trauma (1–3, 8, 11, 13–16, 18, 20). In order to find out to which degree it has influenced management and outcome of patients presenting with intracranial extradural hematomas (EDH), we reviewed a series of 139 consecutive patients admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Essen, between 1973 and 1980.
