On images produced by [[CT scan]]s epidural hematomas usually appear convex in shape because their expansion stops at skull's [[skull suture|sutures]], where the dura mater is tightly attached to the skull.  Thus they expand inward toward the brain rather than along the inside of the skull, as occurs in [[subdural hematoma]].  The lens like shape of the hematoma leads the appearance of these bleeds to be called "lentiform".

Overview

CT

On images produced by CT scan epidural hematomas usually appear convex in shape because their expansion stops at skull's sutures, where the dura mater is tightly attached to the skull. Thus they expand inward toward the brain rather than along the inside of the skull, as occurs in subdural hematoma. The lens like shape of the hematoma leads the appearance of these bleeds to be called "lentiform".
