Subdural Hematoma

Question: What are the indications of subdural hematoma?

Answer: A lot of this depends on the speed of accumulation of the blood/fluid which causes the hematoma. Acute subdurals are usually present with altered levels of consciousness, seizures, syncope, etc. Chronic subdurals (accumulate over time) are usually present with mild mental deficits, headache, and milder symptoms.
