Abstract
An epidural hematoma of the clivus is reported in a 16-year-old boy after a motor vehicle accident. The diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imagi ng. Only five similar cases have been reported in the literature. The patie nt was treated conservatively and recovered without neurological deficits. The mechanism of injury and formation of the hematoma in this region are di scussed.
