A case is reported of traumatic chronic extradural hematoma in a child who had previously undergone a craniotomy for a different lesion. Perforations made in the bone flap served as vents for extrusion of the hematoma fluid into the subgaleal space, thus decompressing the intracranial space. This resulted in a benign clinical course.
