| Popis: | Background: Traumatic cerebrovascular injury may result in epidural hematoma (EDH) from laceration of the middle meningeal artery (MMA), which is a potentially life-threatening emergency. Treatment ranges from surgical evacuation to conservative management based on a variety of clinical and imaging factors. Case Description: A 14-year-old male presented to our institution after falling from his bicycle with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and a right frontotemporal EDH. The patient did not meet criteria for surgical evacuation and endovascular embolization of the right MMA was performed. Rapid resolution of the EDH was observed. Conclusion: This case corroborates the sparse existing literature for the potential role of endovascular embolization to treat acute EDH in carefully selected patients who do not meet or have borderline indications for surgical management. |
