Delayed Presentation of a Vertex Epidural Hematoma Following High-Voltage Electrical Injury to the Head

Abstract We present the case of a man who suffered a high-voltage electrical injury followed by a delayed presentation of an epidural hematoma. CT of the brain demonstrated hyper dense material along the anterior and frontal region consistent with an epidural hematoma at the vertex. The patient underwent serial computed tomography scans of his brain which demonstrated stability of the hematoma and no operative intervention was required. This appears to be the first case report of such an injury.
