The occurrence of bilateral extradural hematomas is an uncommon consequence of cranio-cerebral trauma. In the literature bilateral, extradural hematomas have rarely been reported. This article is about a case of 45-year-old female who was admitted in our hospital with a history of road traffi c accident. On admission, she was conscious but irritable having Glasgow coma scale 14/15. In stable condition, she was found to have visual agnosia for left eye. Her computed tomography scan showed a bilateral symmetrical site with asymmetrical dimensions. Patient underwent left occipito-posterio-parietal craniotomy with complete removal of extradural hematoma was done. Right occipital extradural hematoma was not removed.
