Extradural Hemorrhage
An extradural hemorrhage, also called an epidural hematoma, is a collection of blood between the skull and the outermost layer covering the brain, generally as a result of a blow to the head.
Common causes: It is usually associated with head trauma that injures a blood vessel, often after falls, traffic accidents, or sports impacts. The pooled blood can put pressure on the brain.
Warning signs: There may be severe headache, increasing drowsiness, vomiting, or confusion, sometimes after an interval in which the person seemed to be fine after the blow.
Which specialist treats it? This is a situation that requires urgent neurosurgical care, and the neurosurgeon is the one who evaluates and manages this type of injury. With head trauma and worsening symptoms, the most prudent thing is to seek medical evaluation immediately.
