Department of Neurosurgery, Düzce School of Medicine, Abant İzzet Baysal University, Düzce, Turkey
Chronic epidural hematoma is rare and not a well-known clinical entity. We
present a 10-year-old male who complained of headache, nausea and diplopia
due to supra- and infratentorial chronic epidural hematoma. He was operated
with two burr holes located supra- and infratentorially. The hematoma was like
motor-oil liquid. Correct diagnosis and surgical intervention gave the patient a
chance to recover.
