Abstract
Abstract Four cases of vertex epidural hematomas are presented to illustrate the unique management problems which set them apart from their more common counterparts located over the temporal convexity. Diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion as vertex epidural hematomas are often missed by conventional horizontal scanning. Coronal computed tomographic scanning should be undertaken in all suspected cases. Clinical symptoms exceeding the small volume of clot may be present due to venous obstruction and disruption of cerebrospinal fluid absorption. Evacuation of the clot usually leads to clinical improvement.
