Recently, a unique case of traumatic intracerebral haematoma complicating the insertion of skull calipers, has been observed. It is assumed it was due to: 1. the accidental penetration of the burr into the skull, while making the insertion hole for the caliper; 1. the failure to grip the skull with the special metal sleeve, the Blackburn skull caliper is provided with, so that the end plates were free to move in and out of the skull in this restless patient. The correct diagnosis was made only after severe uncal herniation had developed. The reasons for missing the correct diagnosis within useful time for proper treatment are considered to be: 1. carotid angiography performed too early in the process of haematoma formation: 2. the vascular displacements were only slight and not fully diagnostic; 3. a recognized complication, extradural haematoma, had already been excluded.
