And if you never heard of it before then this what it means:
Epidural hematoma is as deadly as it sounds. It is a brain injury in which there is a traumatic accumulation of blood between the skull and the dura mater. The dura is a membrane that protects the brain. It also provides nourishment to the brain with blood and spinal fluid. Due to a trauma, like a blow on the head, there is an increase in the accretion of blood, which puts direct pressure in the intercranial space. This pressure can have an adverse effect on the delicate brain tissues, even leading to death.
