Article Abstract
Our data are consistent with current biomechanical concepts of intracranial injury.EDHs result from brief linear contact forces that commonly occur in unintentional falls.SDHs are caused by global high- energy rotational acceleration/deceleration forces that are commonly generated in episodes of abuse.Compared with SDH,EDH rarely results from abuse.
