'''Epidural''' or '''extradural hematoma''' is a buildup of blood occurring between the [[dura mater]] (the [[brain|brain's]] tough outer membrane) and the [[skull]]. Often due to [[head trauma|trauma]], the condition is potentially deadly because the buildup of blood may increase [[intracranial pressure|pressure]] in the [[intracranial space]] and compress delicate brain tissue.  15 to 20% of patients with epidural hematomas die of the [[injury]].<ref>Sanders MJ and McKenna K. 2001.
