		Subdural hemorrhage - chronic; Subdural hematoma - chronic
		In a chronic subdural collection, the problem is not discovered immediately and blood leaks from the veins slowly over time.
		A subdural hematoma is more common in the elderly because normal brain shrinkage occurs with aging that stretches and weakens the bridging veins.

	Subdural hematoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A subdural hematoma, also called a subdural hemorrhage, is a collection of blood between the dura (the outer protective covering of the brain) and the arachnoid (the middle layer of the meninges).
		Subdural hematomas are most often caused by head injury, when rapidly changing velocities within the skull may stretch and tear small bridging veins.
		Subdural hematomas are divided into acute, subacute, and chronic, depending on how quickly or slowly they take to form.

	Subdural Hematoma - Health EncyclopediaNews Story - WMAQ \| Chicago
		Acute subdural hematomas are among the deadliest of all head injuries.
		During a subdural hematoma, tiny veins between the surface of the brain and its outer covering (the dura) stretch and tear, allowing blood to collect.
		Medicines used to treat a subdural hematoma depend on the type of subdural hematoma, the severity of symptoms, and how much brain damage there is. Diuretics may be used to reduce swelling.

	Subdural hematoma
		A subdural Hematoma or hemorrhage is an accumulation of blood between the brain and its tough outer lining, caused by a ruptured blood vessel.
		Subdural bleeding that develops shortly after a serious blow to the head is known as an acute subdural hemorrhage.
		The prognosis for acute subdural hemorrhages generally is poor, often because of associated injuries to the brain, regardless of the size of the Hematoma.

		Subdural hemorrhage is often associated with blunt trauma without skull fracture and results from rotation of brain.
		The rate of progression is variable - subdural hemorrhage may be classified as acute or chronic and (and sometimes subacute) depending on the rate of accumulation of blood and thus rate of progression of symptoms.
		For chronic subdural hematoma, the hematoma is encapsulated after several weeks, by a pseudomembrane composed of granulation tissue derived from the inflammatory reaction in the dura.

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 19, Ch. 260, Disturbances In Newborns And Infants
		Subdural hemorrhage, which now occurs less often because of improved obstetric techniques, results from tears in the falx, tentorium, or bridging veins.
		Hemorrhages within the ventricles or parenchyma generally occur during the first 3 days of life and are the most serious type of intracranial bleeding.
		Hemorrhages occur most often in premature infants, are often bilateral, and usually arise in the germinal matrix, which lies on the lateral wall of the lateral ventricles.

		The subdural space located deep to the dura mater (between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater) is a potential space into which bleeding can occur resulting in a pool of blood called a subdural hematoma.
		Retinal and vitreous hemorrhages, which tend not to resolve as rapidly as retinal hemorrhages, associated with intracranial hemorrhages from skull injury are known as Terson syndrome.
		Subdural hemorrhage is bleeding into the subdural space caused by the disruption of the bridging veins connected to the dura mater.

	Untitled Document
		Although larger in size than an extradural hemorrhage, a subdural hemorrhage is confined unilaterally because the dura is firmly fixed to the falx between the hemispheres.
		Subdural hemorrhage is also characterized by headaches, drowsiness, poor concentration, mild confusion, progressively decreasing level of consciousness, and motor deficits (eg, hemiparesis).
		It is usually the result of hemorrhage into the middle or anterior fossa of the skull, but it may be the result of aerocele, increased cerebrospinal pressure, encysted collections of cerebrospinal fluid in the subdural or subarachnoid spaces, extradural hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, or edema from infection.

	Subdural hematoma Summary
		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).
		Subdural hematomas are most often caused by head injury, when rapidly changing velocities within the skull may stretch and tear small bridging veins.
		Acute subdural hematomas that are due to trauma are the most lethal of all head injuries and have a high mortality rate if they are not rapidly treated with surgical decompression.

	Brain Trauma, Subdural Hematoma and Dementia Pugilistica
		A chronic subdural hematoma is often caused by a slight and seemingly insignificant head injury.
		Chronic subdural hematomas sometimes exhibit symptoms similar to vascular dementia and are particularly prevalent among the elderly.
		Common symptoms of a subdural hematoma in infants include a disproportionate and enlarged head circumference, a swollen fontanel (the soft membrane-covered gap on an infant's head) and disjointed sutures (the junction of bones in the skull).

		Intracerebral Hemorrhage (brain hemorrhage) is an important cause of stroke, especially in Asians and fls.
		Amyloid angiopathy causes both single and recurrent lobar hemorrhages and is probably the most common cause of lobar hemorrhage in the elderly.
		If the CAT scan shows that the cerebellar hemorrhage is compressing the brain stem or causing hydrcephalus then surgical interventions which include lateral ventricle decompression, clot removal or posterior fossa decompression is indicated.

		Intracerebral hemorrhage is estimated to account for 10 to 15 percent of all strokes and to have a one-year mortality greater than 60 percent.2 In the Far East, intracerebral hemorrhage is even more common, accounting for almost 30 percent of strokes in China.3 Approximately 37,000 to 52,000 cases of intracerebral hemorrhage occur in the.

		The presence of craniocerebral disproportion that develops from any cause--external hydrocephalus, internal hydrocephalus, arachnoid cyst, or chronic subdural hematoma--makes the patient exceptionally susceptible to subdural hemorrhage after what would otherwise be inconsequential trauma.[5,14,18,21,26,30,35,37] In particular, the prevalence of subdural hematoma in case series of patients with external hydrocephalus seems significant.
		In a study reported by Azais and Echenne,[5] "spontaneous" subdural hemorrhage was demonstrated in five of 41 patients with "benign enlargement of the subarachnoid spaces" on ultrasonography and computerized tomography scanning.
		Whether or not external hydrocephalus imparts a special susceptibility to ocular hemorrhage is unknown; however, in the present case the involvement of the eyes seems severe in relation to the extent of the intracranial hemorrhage.
