Trauma to the pterion can lead to tearing of the
meningeal branches of the middle meningeal
arteries.
The middle meningeal vessels lie between the dura
mater and the periosteum of the internal aspect of
the skull.
The build up of blood in this extradural space maylead to:
PterionPterion
brain shift away from hematoma
compress against midbrain and displace downwardthrough opening of tentorium
compress vasculature of midbrain and reticular formation
decrease level of consciousness untreated hemorrhage may cause death in a few hour
