An @entity4282 associated with posttraumatic @entity2849 of the middle meningeal artery is a very rare clinical entity. Only 31 such cases have been reported in the literature. A 54-year-old @entity1 was admitted with lethargy and right @entity1269 . A skull X-ray film revealed a linear @entity174 in the left parietal and temporal bone, extending to the base of the skull. A brain CT scan disclosed an @entity697 over the left cerebral hemisphere, contusional @entity1410 in the @entity75 , and @entity510 in the left Sylvian fissure. During an emergency craniotomy a @entity4282 was evacuated and external decompression was performed. Angiography, which was performed about one month after the @entity542 , revealed an @entity439 of the middle meningeal artery. The @entity439 was removed to avoid delayed @entity397 at the time of cranioplasty. Histological diagnosis was @entity2849 . We discussed the pathogenesis of a @entity693 and the necessity to pay attention to the presence of a @entity2849 when an active @entity548 point is not observed during surgery of the @entity4282 .
