INTRADIPLOIC EPIDERMOID CAUSING SPONTANEOUS EXTRADURAL HEMATOMA

Abstract

Intradiploic epidermoid tumors so rarely present with extradural hemorrhage that prophylactic removal cannot be recommended in all such cases. However, in view of the seriousness of the hemorrhage, prophylactic removal may be recommended, especially if the patient, such as a sportsman, child, or elderly person, is prone to injuries.
