Abstract

Epidural and subdural hematomas are common sequelae of severe head injury and usually require urgent surgical evacuation. The general principles that apply to the management of raised intracranial pressure following head injury should also be used in these patients. In this chapter we highlight the characteristics that are considered “typical” for the presentation of patients with acute epidural and subdural hematomas, and discuss some aspects of management that are specific to these conditions.
