Extradural Hematoma

Extradural haematoma (EDH) is defined as an acute bleed between the dura mater and the inner surface of the skull. This then causes increased intracranial pressure, which puts vital brain structures at risk. Patients most commonly affected by extradural haematomas (EDH) are adult males between 20-30 years old. This is because they are more likely to experience a traumatic injury.
