Overview
Epidural hematoma occurs in approximately 2000 per 100,000 of patients with head injury. Epidural hematoma is the cause of 5% to 15% of fatal head injuries. Approximately 85% to 95% of patients with epidural hematoma have an overlying skull fracture. The in-hospital mortality rate of epidural hematoma in young patients with epidural hematoma is approximately 4800 per 100,000 individuals with a case-mortality rate of 4.8%. Patients of all age groups may develop epidural hematoma as the main cause of epidural hematoma is traumatic head injury. There is no racial predilection to epidural hematoma.Epidural hematoma affects men and women equally.
