Quick Summary:

• Chronic Subdural Hematoma is collection of blood (hematoma) between the layers of coverings of the brain. It is also known as Chronic Subdural Hemorrhage
• The brain is made up of three layers that protect it from being damaged. These coverings are called dura, arachnoid, and pia matter. This 3-layered membrane covering tightly holds the brain, preventing it from unintended movements or from being affected by harmful substances
• The space between the:
  • Skull and dura mater is called the epidural space
  • Dura and arachnoid mater is called the subdural space
  • Arachnoid and pia mater is called the subarachnoid space             
• In Chronic Subdural Hematoma, blood (in liquid state) accumulates in the subdural space and causes altered mental status (such as drowsiness and confusion), headache, paralysis, and other symptoms
• It is most commonly seen in elderly adults, generally in men. Chronic Subdural Hematoma is caused by a trivial trauma; half the time the individual may not be even aware of trauma to their head
• The prognosis is good with early surgical intervention, though it also depends on factors such as age of the individual, associated illnesses, presenting signs and symptoms, and other factors
