Peru [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.4, pp.339-342. Epub 31-Dez-2023. ISSN 1728-5917. http://dx.doi.org/10.35663/amp.2023.404.2679.
Cranioencephalic trauma is an event caused by force on the container that holds the brain content, which causes inertia to cause acceleration and deceleration injuries, producing hemorrhages and/or fractures; These can generate a series of complications such as epidural abscess which, being very close to the brain, constitutes an emergency for its management and follow-up15. On this occasion we show the case of a patient with epidural abscess caused by cranioencephalic trauma and neurosurgical management.
