Epidural hemorrhage, commonly encountered in clinical practice, particularly in pediatric populations, represents a critical condition that necessitates prompt diagnosis and intervention. This type of hemorrhage occurs when there is a collection of blood between the outer membrane of the brain, known as the dura mater, and the skull. In children, especially infants and young children, the anatomy and physiology of the cranial structure can contribute to the unique challenges presented by epidural hemorrhages. Understanding the pathophysiology, potential causes, clinical manifestations, and treatment modalities is vital for healthcare professionals involved in pediatric nursing care. In pediatric patients, the most common cause of epidural hemorrhage is trauma, which can result from falls, motor vehicle accidents, or abusive head trauma. The infant¡¯s skull is softer and more pliable compared to adults, which allows for a greater deformation during impact, potentially leadin¡¦(»ý·«)
