This study was aimed to present the experience in treating patients with traumatic posterior fossa extra dural hematoma2 and to discuss the clinical features, risk factors4 and outcome.5 Posterior fossa extradural hematoma2,3 uncommon but potentially fatal condition. The incidence of posterior fossa extra dural hematoma2,3 among intracranial extra dural hematomas has been reported 4% to 7%. Occipital skull bone fracture with venous sinus bleeding that resulted in a posterior fossa extradural haematoma.2 low Gcs [or] hematoma more than 10ml were subjected to evacuation.
