Explanation / Answer

In the condition of epidural hemorrhage or extradural hematoma arterial bleed rapidly accumulated in between the dura mater and skull. An extradural hematomas is an injury to the temporal lobe and it is mainly associated because of the middle meningeal artery runs in a groove on the surface before entering into the human skull. These are mostly commonly happens due to the MVAs and frequently associated temporal lobe injuries. At the time of injuryies an epidural hemorrhage is a condition that can characterized by loss of consciousness followed by a lucid period. Generally within a few hours a progressive symptoms like vomiting, severe headache, drowsiness to confusion, ipsilateral pupillary dilation, seizures, and contralateral hemiparesis observed. An extradural hematoma can always considered as a medical emergency, so due to this reason the individual in the MVA requires priority surgical treatment and the subdural bleeds occur more slowly, ranging from hours to weeks. A subdural hematoma is a venous bleed occurring between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater and the range of injury is completely depends upon the size of the epidural space, how many veins were torn, and the amount of compression on the bleeding veins. If in an any condition once a vein is torn and the brain is bleed and compressed. The increased intracranial pressure can compressed the bleeding veins and slowing the amount of bleeding. A subdural hematoma can also be caused by an MVA but is commonly the result of falls in older adults, in whom the symptoms vary from a progressive dementia, chronic headache and drowsiness to slowed cognition, confusion, and paratonia (generalized rigidity). A subdural hematoma requires surgery to evacuate the clot but does not take priority over the individual with the extradural hematoma.
