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]
Symptoms: Headache, confusion, paralysis [1] Usual onset: Rapid [2] Causes: Head injury, bleeding disorder, blood vessel malformation [1] Diagnostic method: Medical imaging (CT scan) [1] Differential diagnosis: Subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, [1] transient ischemic attack seizure, intracranial abscess, brain ...
