It is E. Venous bleeding between the dura and arachnoid membranes Most often the result of blunt trauma Examples-car accident, baseball bat Due to tearing of bridging veins between brain and dural sinuses Slowly enlarging blood clot covers the convexity of the brain. (That is the key for me the slowly enlarging ) Fluctuating levels of consciousness Herniation and death may occur.

epidural Arterial bleed creates a blood-filled space between the bone and dura Caused by a fracture of the temporoparietal bone Severance of the middle meningeal artery Vessel lies between the dura and inner table of bone. Intracranial pressure increases, leading to herniation and death.
