| Among patients with head trauma screening for epidural hematoma and other kind of [[Intracranial hemorrhage|intracranial hemorrhages]] by [[CT scan]] is recommended for patients with: age > 60 years, [[Glasgow coma scale|glasgow Coma Scale]] under 15, [[Headache]], [[Vomiting]], [[Loss of consciousness]], [[Amnesia]], [[Alcohol intoxication|alcohol]] or [[drug intoxication]]. Screening for cervical spinal [[hematoma]] by [[CT scan]] is recommended among patients with acute onset of [[hemiparesis]], specially when they are associated with [[neck pain]].
| | There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for epidural hematoma. |
