Abstract:
A case of chronic epidural hematoma in the left frontal region is presented. The patient presented with a unique neurologic sign, exophthalmos, which was not a result of the injury but of in-growth of granulation tissue of the hematoma capsule into the orbit through the orbital roof defect. The time interval between head injury and the operation was about 25 years. Our case represent the second most longest time interval among the reviewed literatures.
