- Abstract
Intracranial Langerhans cell histiocytosis commonly presents as skull lesions in children. An intratumoral cyst with fluid level and epidural hematoma occurring with eosinophilic granuloma is very rare. We report a 15-year-old boy who presented with a spontaneous epidural hematoma which was the result of a temporal eosinophilic granuloma. Multiple explanations for epidural hematoma in such cases have been discussed. Intratumoral hemorrhage followed by cyst formation and rupture may explain the pathophysiology of epidural hemorrhage formation.
