but become life-threatening in minutes?

Epidural Hematoma (EDH)

Blood trapped between the skull and brain’s outer layer

Warning Signs:

Headache Dizziness Nausea Confusion…

Sometimes a ‘lucid interval’ occurs before symptoms worsen

Brain CT scans are the gold standard for detecting EDH They show the hematoma’s size, location and pressure effects

EDH can progress fast

Quick diagnosis and treatment within the ‘golden hour’ can save lives

Don’t wait, get a CT scan reviewed by specialists
