Abstract:
Traumatic hematomas in the posterior fossa is relatively rare (only 2.8% in the total cases of hematomas in the cranium), but dangerous because clinical symptoms are not specific and sudden suspension of breathing may lead rapidly to mortality. The author had analysed these cases to find out experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The rate of mortality after surgery and medical treatment was 14.3%.
