Seizures after subdural hematoma surgery can occur due to several factors, including cortical irritation from the surgical procedure, changes in brain tissue integrity, or the presence of residual blood or fluid. Additionally, pre-existing brain conditions or complications such as infections or electrolyte imbalances may contribute to seizure activity. The risk is also influenced by the patient's age, overall health, and the extent of the hematoma or brain injury. Monitoring and management are crucial to minimize the risk of post-operative seizures.

What is arachnoid subdural hematoma?
An arachnoid subdural hematoma is a type of bleeding that occurs between the arachnoid membrane and the dura mater, two layers of the protective membranes surrounding the brain. This condition typically arises from trauma or injury, leading to the accumulation of blood in this space, which can cause pressure on the brain. Symptoms may include headache, confusion, or neurological deficits, and treatment often involves monitoring or surgical intervention to alleviate pressure. It is distinct from other types of hematomas, such as epidural or subdural hematomas, due to its specific location and causes.
How can shaking a baby lead to subdural hematoma?
Shaken Baby Syndrome is a condition caused by violently shaking a baby. There are usually three signs in a baby that shaking may have occurred: subdural hematoma, retinal hemorrhage, and cerebral edema. Subdural hematoma (bleeding in the brain) is caused by the brain "bouncing around" inside the skull. As the head is whipped back and forth (the same sort of injury that can occur with whiplash), the brain is forcefully slammed into the dura and impacted against the inner wall of the skull, causing bleeding and swelling beneath the dura, or between the dura and the brain tissue. This trauma also causes brain swelling (cerebral edema), and through an action known as "vitreoretinal traction", the distinctive pattern of retinal hemorrhaging can occur.

Compare epidural hematoma and subdural hematoma?
Your skull is like a Box. You can only "fit" so much into it. When you introduce blood due to an injury (trauma), the blood has no where to go so this causes pressure on the brain and eventually you DIE! Your brain is covered with various tissue to protect and nourish it. In addition to the skull you have the dura matter (tough mother), arachnoid process (vascular) and the Pia matter which surrounds the brain. Trauma or striking the skull (falling down hitting your head, baseball bat, bullet) can cause injury to the tissues of the brain.The epidural hematoma involves an artery (usually the meningeal artery) and can occur in numerous places. This is a fast bleed and you can expire fast. The subdural is a venous bleed (slower) but can have the same devastating effects. In both cases neurosurgery is the only option, but in most cases by that time your chances for survival (morbidity) are small.
What Causes Hematoma during IV Cannula insertion?
A hematoma (US spelling) or haematoma (UK spelling) is a confined accumulation of blood outside the veins, due to either illness or injury including damage or surgery and may include blood proceeding to leak from broken vessels. A hematoma is at first in fluid frame spread among the tissues incorporating into sacs between tissues where it might coagulate and set before blood is reabsorbed into veins due to iv cannula blood transfusion. An ecchymosis is a hematoma of the skin bigger than 10mm.
