Vertex Venous Epidural Hematoma: A Case-Report

Abstract

Epidural hematomas are collections of blood in the subdural space that typically occur secondary to head trauma. Generally, they are the result of arterial bleeding, but on very rare occasions, they may be secondary to venous bleeding. We present a case of an epidural hematoma due to venous bleeding as the result of traumatic disruption of the superior sagittal sinus.
