Abstract

Bilateral epidural hematoma is a rare complication of blunt head trauma. We present an unusual case of a division I collegiate football athlete who suffered a bilateral epidural hematoma with parietal skull fracture after falling down a flight of stairs. In our case, we highlight the initial presentation to rehabilitation up until eventual return-to-play 4 months later.
