Abstract : Extradural hematoma (EDH) is a life-threatening emergency, which needs emergent evacuation to prevent mortality and morbidity. We report a case of an adolescent, who had large fronto-temporo-parietal EDH, with significant midline shift, and was incidentally diagnosed to have congenital cyanotic heart disease with deranged coagulation profile in the preoperative area using point-of-care ultrasound.
