Subdural haemorrhage due to birth injury - what does this mean
Subdural haemorrhage due to birth injury occurs when the baby's skull is compressed during delivery, causing a rupture in the veins of the brain, resulting in bleeding between the brain and the dura mater (the protective membrane covering the brain). this can cause a range of symptoms depending on the severity of the injury, and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
What happens during the disease - subdural haemorrhage due to birth injury
Subdural haemorrhage due to birth injury is a condition in which a newborn experiences bleeding in the brain due to trauma during delivery. this can occur when the baby is squeezed too hard by the birth canal, or when the baby's head is impacted against the mother's pelvic bone during delivery. the trauma causes the baby's blood vessels to tear and bleed into the subdural space, resulting in a subdural haemorrhage.
