Liquid Posterior Fossa Epidural Hematoma in Pediatric Trauma: A Single-Center Case Series.
Liquid posterior fossa epidural hematoma (LPFEH) following head trauma is uncommon, and very few such cases have been described in the literature. Eight patients with this entity and their treatments are presented here. ⋯ LPFEH is a rare subtype of traumatic epidural hematoma specifically recognized in the pediatric population. Minimally invasive burr-hole drainage is a feasible procedure for the patient with evident space-occupying effect. Coagulation dysfunction or low hemoglobin as a possible contributing factor and its role in formation of LPFEH was excluded.
