Subdural and epidural hematomas are abnormal collections of blood or hemorrhages whose location can be seen on CT scan or MRI of the brain or head. Symptoms and signs may include headache, altered mental status, and neurology complaints to name a few.

Subdural hematomas are located between the dura mater and arachnoid, and epidural hematomas are located between the skull and dura mater.

Subdural and epidural hematomas can be caused by trauma to the bridging veins or middle meningeal artery respectively. This may lead to the pathophysiology and development of an intracranial hemorrhage around the dura and/or arachnoid.
