What is this Condition?

A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood between the dura and arachnoid membranes surrounding the brain. It can be acute (following sudden trauma) or chronic (slowly developing). It is particularly common in the elderly and those on blood thinners. Early diagnosis and treatment are life-saving.
