Subdural hygromas require two conditions in order to occur. First, there must be a separation in the layers of the Meninges of the brain. Second, the resulting subdural space that occurs from the separation of layers must remain uncompressed in order for CSF to accumulate in the subdural space, resulting in the hygroma. [1]
A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a type of bleeding in which a collection of blood—usually but not always associated with a traumatic brain injury—gathers between the inner layer of the dura mater and the arachnoid mater of the meninges surrounding the brain.
Subdural Location Between the skull and the inner meningeal layer of the dura mater or between outer endosteal and inner meningeal layer of dura mater: Between the meningeal layers of dura mater and the Arachnoid mater: Involved vessel Temperoparietal locus (most likely) – Middle meningeal artery Frontal locus – anterior ethmoidal artery
Pneumocephalus and comminuted fracture of the frontal sinus Pneumocephalus is the presence of air or gas within the cranial cavity . It is usually associated with disruption of the skull : after head and facial trauma , tumors of the skull base, after neurosurgery or otorhinolaryngology , and rarely, spontaneously.

A tear between the dura and the arachnoid membranes, called a CSF fistula, can cause CSF to leak out of the subarachnoid space into the subdural space; this is called a subdural hygroma. [1] CSF can also leak from the nose and the ear. These tears can also allow bacteria into the cavity, potentially causing infections such as meningitis.
Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.
Subdural hemorrhage results from tearing of the bridging veins in the subdural space between the dura and arachnoid mater. Head CT shows crescent-shaped deformity Subarachnoid hemorrhage , which occur between the arachnoid and pia meningeal layers, like intraparenchymal hemorrhage, can result either from trauma or from ruptures of aneurysms or ...
