Özet

Incidence of acute epidural hematoma is estimated as 1.5% of patients treated for head trauma. The condition can be fatal, and urgent surgical evacuation is recommended. Spontaneous resolution may occur in some cases. Herein, rapid spontaneous resolution of an epidural hematoma is reported and possible mechanisms are discussed.
