Abstract:
Two cases of chronic epidural hematomas are reported. CT scans show an enhanced dense line along the inner rim probably represented vascular granulation tissue and dura mater. Our experiences suggest that the diagnosis of patients with persistent symptoms after head injury should be clarified by CT scanning and that a higher density enhancd inner rim may be compatible with an extradural hematoma.
