"Differentiating extradural (EDH) from subdural (SDH) haemorrhage in the head is usually straightforward, but occasionally it can be challenging. SDHs are more common, and a few distinguishing features are usually reliable."

Line 1:40 · 'EDH' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Line 1:77 · 'SDH' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Almost always arterial, explaining the progressive growth of the haematoma. Classically due to injury of the middle meningeal artery, a branch of the maxillary artery (from the ECA)."

Line 10:198 · 'ECA' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Typically crescentic (crescent moon-shaped, concave, banana-shaped) and more extensive than EDH, with the internal margin parallelling the cortical margin of the adjacent brain. As these occur in the subdural space, they cross sutures."
