Methods: From 51 EDH patients who underwent surgery in our department from 2008-2018 to 2008-2020, we evaluated age, sex, mode of injury, localization of haematoma, clinical presentation, CT findings, evolution. Results: 65% were boys and 35% were girls; the most common mode of injury was fall with 65%; the most revelated sign was crying with 37%; mortality was about 9.6%. Conclusion: edh is an extreme emergency in neurosurgery practice; the best outcomes can be obtained with rapid diagnosis, correct evacuation, and good reanimation conditions.
