Abstract：Objective To explore the feasibility and efficacy of the drill -hole drainage in treating unilat-eral traumatic pediatric liquid epidural hematoma in the posterior fossa .Methods Thirty cases of unilateral trau-matic pediatric posterior fossa liquid epidural hematoma were retrospectively analyzed ,who were treated with drill-hole drainage from Jan.2001 to Jan.2014.Under local anesthesia(1%lidocaine hydrochloride) plus basic anes-thesia(propofol),the skull at the thickest hematoma level (the diameter was 1.0 cm) was drilled,most of hematoma was sucked,and drainage pipe was placed for 24 to 48h.Results Hematoma was totally removed in 25 of 30 cases and 90%of hematoma was removed in the remaining 5 cases.The duration of surgery was about 30 min.All the pa-tients recovered soon after the operation without serious complications .The average hospital stay was 7d.Conclu-sion The drill-hole drainage is a minimally invasive ,safe,and effective surgical method for treating unilateral trau-matic pediatric liquid epidural hematoma in the posterior fossa .
