Mastoiditis causing Sinus Thrombosis and Posterior Fossa Epidural Haematoma Case report

Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 1

Abstract

Spontaneously occurring epidural haematomas are an uncommon entity. A spontaneous post fossa epidural haematoma due to sigmoid sinus thrombosis secondary to mastoiditis has not been reported in English medical literature. We report a 40 year-old man who presented to us with headache and incoordination. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confrmed epidural sub-acute bleeding in the right side of posterior fossa with mastoiditis and right sigmoid sinus thrombosis. A right suboccipital craniotomy and evacuation of the haematoma was done and the patient was relieved of his complains.
