Özet

In conservative management of extradural haematomas (EDH), several mechanisms were described to explain the resorption of the haematoma. One of these was the transfer of the clot into the epi cranial space through the skull fracture. In this study, the effects of skull fracture and associated intracranial lesions in the conservative management of EDH were investigated. Skull fracture and associated intracranial lesions were found in 71.11% and 51.1% of the patients, respectively.
