Extradural hematoma; Epidural hematoma

An epidural hemorrhage may not be preventable once a head injury has occurred.

To minimize the risk of head injury, use safety equipment (such as hard hats, bicycle or motorcycle helmets, and seat belts) when involved in relevant activities.

Follow general safety steps. For example, do not dive into water if the water depth is unknown or if rocks may be present. Use appropriate safety precautions in sports, recreation, and work. Drive safely.
