Subdural haematoma
A subdural haematoma is a blood clot, which forms between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater. It is usually caused by some kind of direct blow to the head as a result of a fall, an assault or a road accident.
Things to remember
- There are layers underneath the skull that protect the brain from serious harm.
- The blood vessels in these covering layers may become damaged after a blow to the head.
- If any unusual symptoms occur after a blow to the head, see your doctor immediately.
