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
- Injury to the head
- Currently undergoing chemotherapy
- Losing consciousness
- Pain over the temples
- Falling frequently
- Insect sting or injury from animals
- Headache
- Struggling to focus or feeling less aware of my surroundings
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 temporarily lost consciousness?
- Do you have temple pain?
- Do you fall or slip frequently?
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.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
