Epidural haemorrhage - what does this mean
Epidural haemorrhage is a type of traumatic brain injury that occurs when a blood vessel in the skull ruptures, causing bleeding between the skull and the outer covering of the brain. it is usually caused by a direct blow to the head, such as in a car accident, or by a skull fracture. symptoms can include severe headache, neck stiffness, confusion, drowsiness, and loss of consciousness.
What happens during the disease - epidural haemorrhage
Epidural haemorrhage is a form of intracranial haemorrhage that occurs when blood vessels in the epidural space rupture and bleed into the space between the skull and the outermost layer of the brain, the dura mater. this can be caused by a number of factors, including head trauma, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and tumors. the increased pressure in the epidural space can cause compression of the brain and damage to the brain tissue, leading to neurological symptoms such as headache, nausea, confusion, and seizures.
