Abstract
Early diagnosis and treatment of DEH have proved to be essential for improving outcome of affected patients. Hospital admission under neurologic observation should be mandatory for those patients who have sustained mild head injury with associated risk factors for the development of DEH, including detection of a skull fracture and/or GCS score under 15. Normality of an early CT scan does not rule out further development of delayed traumatic lesions. A second CT examination should be carried out as soon as any impairment in the neurologic situation of the patient is noted.
