We present the case of an 8-year-old boy who was injured in a bicycle accident and was admitted with a right frontal skull fracture, an acute epidural hematoma, a right frontal laceration, and a subperiosteal hematoma on admission. After the frontal cutaneous suture, the subperiosteal hematoma was aspirated by the percutaneous needle. Two hours later, a CT scan revealed that the epidural hematoma was disappeared. It is speculated that the subperiosteal and epidural hematoma communicated via the skull fracture thus necessitating the evacuation of the epidural hematoma by subperiosteal aspiration.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and potential risk factors associated with postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) following anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent ACSS for cervical spondylosis at Peking University Third Hospital between March 2013 and February 2022. Patients who developed postoperative SEH were categorized as the SEH group, while those in the cohort without SEH were randomly selected as the non-SEH group by individually matching with the same operator, same gender, same surgery year, and similar age (±5 years) at a ratio of 4 ∶ 1.
