Acute bilateral hematomas have higher mortality rates than unilateral epidural hematomas. They are rare presentation of traumatic head injury. The autors described the case of 5 years old male presenting trauatic head injury, Glascow Coma Scale of 15, isocoric pupils. Computed tomography showed bilateral frontal epidural hematomas, obliteration of the lateral ventricles frontal horn and sulci, a bilateral skull fracture reaching the vertex. Bilateral simultaneous drainage was made at the surgery. Patient was discharged with no neurological deficit. The correct approach on bilateral epidural hematomas depends on the volume, diagnosis time and neurological status. Immediately simultaneous drainage of bilateral hematomas has been shown to be an effective method for it.
