It was a prospective observational study. Head injury patients diagnosed clinically and radiologically as EDH, 60 were included in the study. Group A: (Regional Scalp Block): Thirty and Group B (General Anaesthesia): Thirty. History was taken from the relatives or attendants of the patients. Surgery was conducted and complication and outcome were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results: At discharge, among regional scalp block cases 16.7% had a good recovery, 83.3% had a moderate disability and among cases under GA 10.0% had a good recovery and 90.0% had a moderate disability. Two groups had no significant difference considering outcome at discharge.
