A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood in the space between the outer layer (dura) and middle layers of the covering of the brain (the meninges). It is most often caused by torn, bleeding veins on the inside of the dura as a result of a blow to the head.
The meninges are layers or covers of the brain.There are 3 meninges but only 2 ways which blood can collect: EPIDURAL, SUBDURAL, SUBARACHNOID.
