Nontraumatic subdural haemorrhage - what does this mean
Nontraumatic subdural haemorrhage is a type of brain bleed caused by the rupture of small veins located between the brain and the dura mater, the outermost layer of the meninges. this type of bleed can be caused by a number of conditions such as hypertension, bleeding disorders, or head trauma, and can lead to significant neurological damage if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - nontraumatic subdural haemorrhage
Nontraumatic subdural haemorrhage is caused by the rupture of small veins that bridge the space between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater. this can be due to a number of factors such as increased intracranial pressure, hypertension, or a head injury. the resulting blood accumulation in the subdural space causes an increase in intracranial pressure, which can lead to neurological deficits and, in some cases, death.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Head CT scan
- MRI of the head
- Blood tests to check for clotting disorders
- Lumbar puncture to check for bleeding in the spinal fluid
- Angiography to check for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations
- EEG to check for seizures
- Neuropsychological testing to assess cognitive function
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the pressure on the brain caused by the subdural haemorrhage
- Monitoring of vital signs
- Administering medications to reduce intracranial pressure
- Regular imaging scans to monitor the haemorrhage
- Surgery to remove the haematoma
- Administration of blood products to replace lost blood
- Treatment of associated conditions such as seizures or infections
- Rehabilitation therapies to improve physical and cognitive functioning
23 Days of Hospitalization Required
