Surviving a subdural hematoma and undergoing craniotomy can lead to various long-term effects, including cognitive impairments such as memory loss, difficulty with concentration, and changes in executive function. Patients may also experience physical deficits like weakness or coordination issues, as well as emotional and behavioral changes such as increased irritability or depression. Additionally, the risk of epilepsy may increase following the surgery. Overall, the extent of these effects can vary significantly based on the severity of the injury and individual recovery processes.

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.
