| Abstrakt: | Epidural hematoma (EDH) is defined as a traumatic accretion of blood separating the dural membrane and the internal table of the skull that caused from contact bending or skull fracture. The cases of contrecoup EDH are as not common, and there are just 10 recorded cases on this. As a result of its uncommonness, we disclose one subject of a 33-year-old man having countrecoup EDH who suffered from a head trauma caused by falling from 4 meters high. The main symptoms were decreasing consciousness and vomiting. Clinical findings showed a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 9, laceration in the left parietal region with stable hemodynamic. Head Computed tomography showed a large EDH in the right frontal and temporal region with coronal suture diastasis. The patient immediately underwent surgery, and craniotomy with evacuation of extradural hematoma were performed. This case presents that a force, which creates an angle, can propagates and causes opposite coronal suture diastasis and makes contrecoup EDH.
