Abstract
The extra-dural hematoma or epidural hematoma is a collection of blood formed between the dura mater and the internal
table of the skull bone. The origin is traumatic most often causing an arterial lesion more particularly of the meningeal artery; this
explains the topographical predilection of extra dural hematoma for the temporal zone with 50% of cases according to (BRICOLO
1984); rarely the cause may be a post-traumatic lesion of a venous sinus or a bone bleed at the level of the fracture site. In this
respect, 5 to 10% of forms without fracture exist (BRICOLO 1984). Classic in traumatology and more readily the young subject 60%
between 10 and 40 years. Beyond 60 years the dura matter adheres to the internal table of the bone and gives it a less releasable
character in the area of GĂ©rard Marchand which explains the rarity of this lesion after 65 years.
