  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. 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. Intracerebral hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracerebral_hemorrhage

    For spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage seen on CT scan, the death rate is 34–50% by 30 days after the injury, [22] and half of the deaths occur in the first 2 days. [51] Even though the majority of deaths occur in the first few days after ICH, survivors have a long-term excess mortality rate of 27% compared to the general population. [ 52 ]

  6. Kernohan's notch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernohan's_notch

    Chronic subdural hematomas have been known to be a familiar cause of Kernohan's notch. [7] MRIs have shown evidence of Kernohan's notch from patients with traumatic head injury that are related to acute space-occupying lesions such as subdural hematoma, epidural hematoma, depressed skull fracture, or spontaneous intracerebral hematoma. [8] [9]

  7. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraparenchymal_hemorrhage

    Cerebral amyloid angiopathy may cause intraparenchymal hemorrhage even in patients without elevated blood pressure. Unlike hypertension, cerebral amyloid angiopathy does not typically affect blood vessels to deep brain structures. Instead, it is most commonly associated with hemorrhage of small vessels in the cerebral cortex. [2]

  8. 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.

  9. Cerebral contusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_contusion

    The contusion may cause swelling of the surrounding brain tissue, which may be irritated by toxins released in the contusion. [3] The swelling is worst at around four to six days after the injury. [3] Extensive contusion associated with subdural hematoma is called burst lobe. [5]
