Asymptomatic acute bilateral epidural hematoma: results of broader indications for computed tomographic scanning of patients with minor head injuries

The authors report the case of a patient with an apparently minor head injury in whom broader indications for computed tomographic (CT) scanning allowed the early detection and treatment of an acute bilateral extradural hematoma. CT scanning of adult patients with linear skull fractures should be do...
