- Abstract
The article presents information on different issues related to epidural hematoma. It is said that there can be three types of epidural hematoma according to the cause for the bleeding: secondary, spontaneous and idiopathic. Generally, hematoma can be detected by using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and its age can be determined by analyzing the status of the hemoglobin and its intraversus extra-cellular location.
