Pediatric EDH differs from adults in complications as well as outcome. EDH in this pediatric cohort had a better outcome with very less mortality. Increased transportation facilities and the industrial revolution may have facilitated the shift of mode of injury from fall of height in the past to road traffic accidents in this study. A large study comparing the outcomes with pediatric and adult patients is warranted.
