Abstract
Extradural hematoma (EDH) forms 0.5%1 of all head injuries. In selected patients conservative management may be a feasible option. We report 5 cases which were managed conservatively without neurological sequele. All patients were males between 18-30 (mean 23.4) years; location was frontal or parietal and volume of EDH between 9-23(mean 17.3) mL. However only patients with GCS 15/15 were considered for conservative management.
