Risk Factors for Epidural Hematoma Expansion and the Need for Surgery [CLINICAL]

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
The use of head CT in trauma settings has increased significantly, driven by the need to detect and monitor intracranial hemorrhages. Among intracranial hemorrhage subtypes, epidural hematomas (EDHs) are relatively uncommon but require careful evaluation due to their potential for expansion and the need for surgical intervention.
