Double epidural hematomas: An uncommon presentation in head trauma

Abstract

Double epidural hematomas are uncommonly seen in trauma, and they tend to have a higher mortality rate as compared to single EDH. We present the case of a 15-year-old male who presented with right frontal and right parietal acute EDH and underwent right fronto-temporo-parietal craniotomy and EDH evacuation. Double EDHs are usually associated with low GCS on presentation, and they need to be surgically evacuated rapidly. They are seen as a consequence of severe TBI with high morbidity and mortality.
