A Summary Of Epidural Hemorrhage

Our brain is of vast importance for our survival, because of that it is not only covered up by the skull but also by three layers called the meninges. Moving from outside inwards, the meninges are the dura, arachnoid and pia mater. Unfortunately, whether mild or severe, injuries could cause undesirable outcomes.
