a close relative of other hemorrhages that can occur at the surface of the brain, including epidural hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage
a collection of blood beneath the dura mater, usually associated with a significant contusion of the brain
a hematoma beneath the dura and this condition is the most frequent cause of death from trauma in athletics
a hemorrhage, usually venous, in the space deep to the dura
a life-threatening problem because it can compress the brain
a mass of clotted blood that forma in brain tissue as a result of a broken blood vessel
a pooling of blood between the dura, which is a leathery membrane just under the skull, and the brain itself
a rupture of blood vessels, usually veins, between the brain and its outermost surrounding layer of tissue
a blood clot that forms between the dura and the brain tissue. If this bleeding occurs quickly it is called an acute subdural hematoma. If it occurs slowly over weeks it is called a chronic subdural hematoma. The clot may cause increased pressure and may need to be surgically removed.
a massive blood clot beneath the dura mater (the outer membrane of the brain and spinal cord) causing neurologic symptoms resulting from pressure on the brain.
A collection of blood (clot) trapped under the dura matter, the outermost membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
An accumulation of blood (hematoma) just under the lining of the brain.
a collection of spilled blood between the membranes covering the brain
bleeding confined to the area between the dura and the arachnoid membranes.
A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a form of traumatic brain injury in which blood collects between the dura (the outer protective covering of the brain) and the arachnoid (the middle layer of the meninges). Unlike in epidural hematomas, which are usually caused by tears in arteries, subdural bleeding usually results from tears in veins that cross the subdural space. This bleeding often separates the dura and the arachnoid layers.
