138 patients with extradural hematoma have been analyzed in order to assess the factors influencing their mortality. Early diagnosis, based on the development of minimal clinical signs, and prompt treatment will lower the mortality rate. The 16% mortality rate in this series might be reduced to 11%, had there been no errors in management.
