Acute Posttraumatic Paraplegia Caused by Epidural Hematoma at the Vertex
AJNR 22:1748-1749, Messori,A.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Vertex epidural hematomas (VEDHs) are well known but uncommon. Their clinical presentation may be misleading and missed by routine CT axial scanning; thus, diagnosis may be delayed, with possibly fatal consequence. We report a case of acut e posttraumatic paraplegia caused by a VEDH, which was evident at CT and for which the patient underwent successful surgery.
