Traumatic subdural haemorrhage - what does this mean
Traumatic subdural haemorrhage is a type of head injury that occurs when a rapid acceleration or deceleration of the head causes bleeding between the inner layer of the dura mater and the arachnoid membrane of the brain, resulting in an accumulation of blood in the skull. this can lead to increased intracranial pressure and can be potentially life-threatening.
What happens during the disease - traumatic subdural haemorrhage
Traumatic subdural haemorrhage is a condition in which blood accumulates between the inner layer of the dura mater and the brain, following a traumatic brain injury. it is caused by a tear in the veins located between the brain and the dura mater, which results in bleeding into the subdural space. this can lead to a buildup of pressure on the brain, resulting in neurological symptoms such as headache, confusion, memory loss, and changes in consciousness.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Conduct a physical examination of the patient.
- Order a CT scan to identify the subdural haemorrhage.
- Order an MRI scan to detect the extent of the haemorrhage.
- Perform a lumbar puncture to look for signs of haemorrhage.
- Order a blood test to check for any signs of bleeding.
- Perform an angiography to check for any blood vessel damage.
- Perform a neurological examination to assess the patient's level of consciousness.
- Perform a neuropsychological assessment to assess the patient's cognitive functioning.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the pressure on the brain due to the haemorrhage.
- Administering corticosteroids to reduce swelling and inflammation
- Performing a craniotomy to remove the haematoma
- Administering anticonvulsants to prevent seizures
- Conducting an MRI or CT scan to diagnose the extent of the haemorrhage
- Prescribing diuretics to reduce the amount of fluid in the brain
- Performing a ventriculostomy to relieve pressure on the brain
- Administering anticoagulants to reduce the risk of further bleeding
- Providing supportive care and monitoring
13 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Traumatic subdural haemorrhage - Prevention
The primary prevention of traumatic subdural haemorrhage is to reduce the risk of head trauma. this can be done by wearing a helmet when engaging in activities that may cause head trauma, such as biking, skateboarding, and skiing; avoiding risky activities such as drinking and driving; and using appropriate safety equipment when engaging in contact sports.
