Descriptor hematoma epidural craneal
Entry term(s) hematoma craneal epidural
hemorragia craneal epidural
Scope note: Acumulación de sangre en el ESPACIO EPIDURAL entre el CRÁNEO y la DURAMADRE, con frecuencia como consecuencia de hemorragia de las ARTERIAS MENÍNGEAS asociadas con fractura del hueso temporal o del hueso parietal. El hematoma epidural tiende a expandirse rápidamente, comprimiendo la duramadre y localizándose por debajo del encéfalo. Las características clínicas pueden incluir CEFALEA, VÓMITOS, HEMIPARESIA y alteración de la función mental.

Scope note: Accumulation of blood in the EPIDURAL SPACE between the SKULL and the DURA MATER, often as a result of bleeding from the MENINGEAL ARTERIES associated with a temporal or parietal bone fracture. Epidural hematoma tends to expand rapidly, compressing the dura and underlying brain. Clinical features may include HEADACHE; VOMITING; HEMIPARESIS; and impaired mental function.
