This study of 100 cases of extradural hemorrhage was performed at Mamata general & superspeciality hospital, Khammam during the period of Oct-2014 to Sep-2015. Road traffic accident was the commonest mode of injury for EDH accounting for 58 %.Male gender was found predominant .Most vulnerable age group for traumatic EDH was between 21-30 years old (28%) . Alcohol influence had a significant correlation in the causation and proved a social evil. About 44% of patients seek and obtained medical attention within six hours of incident. Maximum number (95%) had history of loss of consciousness. The commonest site for EDH was found Frontal (36%) followed by Temporal (21%). Both conservative (47%) and surgical management (53%) are efficient, with a low incidence of complications. Surgical management recommended for patients in coma (GCS score <9) with anisocoria and for those with a hematoma larger than 30 cm3 in size, regardless of the patient’s GCS score. Recovery in 79% cases achieved good as per Glasgow outcome score.
