  2. Subdural hematoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdural_hematoma

    The mortality rate is higher than that of epidural hematomas and diffuse brain injuries because the force required to cause subdural hematomas tends to cause other severe injuries as well. [24] Chronic subdural bleeds develop over a period of days to weeks, often after minor head trauma, though a cause is not identifiable in 50% of patients. [11]

  3. Subdural hygroma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdural_hygroma

    Most subdural hygromas are believed to be derived from chronic subdural hematomas. They are commonly seen in elderly people after minor trauma but can also be seen in children following infection or trauma. One of the common causes of subdural hygroma is a sudden decrease in pressure as a result of placing a ventricular shunt.

  4. Intracranial hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_hemorrhage

    Subdural hematoma maybe less acute than epidural hematoma due to slower blood accumulation, but it still has the potential to cause brain herniation that may require surgical evacuation. [3] Clinical features depend on the site of injury and severity of injury. Patients may have a history of loss of consciousness but they recover and do not ...

  5. Cerebral edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_edema

    Cerebral edema is commonly seen in a variety of brain injuries including ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, subdural, epidural, or intracerebral hematoma, hydrocephalus, brain cancer, brain infections, low blood sodium levels, high altitude, and acute liver failure.

  6. Geriatric trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geriatric_trauma

    Since the skull does not decrease in size with the brain, there is significant space between the two when this occurs which puts the elderly at a higher risk of a subdural hematoma after sustaining a closed head injury. [9] The reduction of brain size can lead to issues with eyesight, cognition and hearing. [11]

  8. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraparenchymal_hemorrhage

    Other causes of intraparenchymal hemorrhage include hemorrhagic transformation of infarction which is usually in a classic vascular distribution and is seen in approximately 24 to 48 hours following the ischemic event. This hemorrhage rarely extends into the ventricular system.
