A
CVA
B
ALS
C
EDH
D
CP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An epidural hematoma (EDH) is an extra-axial collection of blood within the potential space between the outer layer of the dura mater and the inner table of the skull.

Detailed explanation-2: -An epidural hematoma (EDH) is a collection of blood that forms between your skull and the dura mater, the outermost protective membrane covering your brain. The cause is usually an artery that gets torn by a skull fracture. Symptoms include severe headache and loss of consciousness.

Detailed explanation-3: -An epidural hematoma (EDH) occurs when blood accumulates between the skull and the dura mater, the thick membrane covering the brain. They typically occur when a skull fracture tears an underlying blood vessel. EDHs are about half as common as a subdural hematomas and usually occur in young adults.

Detailed explanation-4: -Extradural haematoma (EDH) is a blood clot that forms on the outside of the natural covering of the brain (’dura mater’), while acute subdural haematoma (ASDH) refers to a blood clot on the inner surface of the dura that appears within the first few days of head injury.

Detailed explanation-5: -Extradual hematoma (EDH) is the collection of blood between the inner skull table and dura, and appears as a biconvex-lens shape on imaging. In comparison to EDH, the subdural hematoma (SDH) is a collection of blood between the dura and arachnoid membrane and it has a biconcave-lens shape on imaging.
