(subdural hematoma) A blood clot in the brain between the cerebral cortex and the dura.

(subdural hematoma) A collection of blood between the dura mater and the brain.

(subdural hematoma) A collection of blood into the space between the dura mater and the brain.

Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.

(subdural hemorrhage) Bleeding between the dura mater and the brain, usually secondary to a tear of the bridging vein.

(subdural hemorrhage) Hemorrhage occurring between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater.

A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a collection of blood below the inner layer of the dura but external to the brain and arachnoid membrane (see the images below). Subdural hematoma is the most common type of traumatic intracranial mass lesion.

Subdural hematoma is a collection of blood between the dural and arachnoid coverings of the brain. As the volume of the hematoma increases, the intracranial pressure may rise and cause herniation. While the presence of subdural hematoma can be inferred by neurologic decline and mechanism of traumatic injury, the diagnosis is typically...

Subdural hematoma, bleeding into the space between the brain and its outermost protective covering, the dura. It typically results when a traumatic force applied to the head creates significant fast-changing velocities of the contents inside the skull. The expanding hemorrhage can increase the...
