What is Acute Subdural Hematoma?

Acute subdural hematoma is the buildup of blood between the brain and its outermost covering and can be a medical emergency. It is usually caused by a head injury. Older age, blood-thinning drugs, and alcohol abuse can increase the risk.

Typical Symptoms of Acute Subdural Hematoma

Diagnostic Questions for Acute Subdural Hematoma

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Did you injure your head?
  • Are you currently on chemotherapy?
  • Have you fainted recently?
  • Do you have pain in your temples?
  • Have you been tripping or falling more often?

Treatment of Acute Subdural Hematoma

Small or asymptomatic acute subdural hematomas may not need treatment beyond close monitoring. Blood thinners are stopped or their effect is counteracted with special medications. For severe cases, surgery is often required. Antiseizure medications are given if seizures are present.
