Hematoma epidural diagnosticado por diplopia − Relato de caso

Resumo

Os autores relatam e discutem o mecanismo pelo qual um paciente de 33 anos, com relato de traumatismo crânio encefálico ocorrido 5 dias antes com perda de consciência no momento do traumatismo, e assintomático nos 4 dias sequentes, iniciou diplopia no quinto dia após o traumatismo, sintoma que provocou sua ida ao pronto-socorro, a realização de exame físico neurológico normal e de tomografia do crânio devido a história e mecanismo de traumatismo, que revelou hematoma epidural occipital, prontamente operado, com o sintoma de diplopia tendo desaparecido no 14^o dia após a cirurgia, já com o paciente em casa.
