Recently we treated 54 patients with acute epidural haematoma, diagnosed by early CT scan and operated on quickly, within 6 hours after trauma. In 18 cases the volume of the haematoma, calculated by three different methods, was more than 150 cc, and GCS score was equal to or less than 8. In all 18 patients, as well as in another 36, we obtained good results: all patients survived and 17 fully recovered (only one was left with moderate neurological disability). Our experience leads us to the conclusion that even volumes of over 150 cc can be compatible not only with survival but also with very low morbidity, if rapid surgical treatment is performed.
