is the epidural space in the brain real or potential?
potential - blood can get in here and create a real space
is the epidural space in the spinal cord real or potential?
real - contains fat & veins; here is where you do epidural
anesthesia
is the subdural space real or potential?
potential

pterion

-weakest part of the skull
-middle meningeal artery runs beneath it
-bone very thin/fragile
-a blow to the pterion may rupture the artery causing an extradural haematoma.
