A subdural hematoma (hemorrhage) is usually the result of a serious head injury. When it occurs this way it's called an "acute" subdural hematoma. Acute subdural hematomas are among the deadliest of all head injuries. The blood fills the brain area very rapidly and compresses the brain tissue. This often results in brain tissue injury or infarction and many times even death. In the elderly, subdural hematomas can also be a result of a slight knock to the head or falls.
