  • Pia mater - closest to the brain
  • Arachnoid mater - on top of the pia mater
  • Dura mater - on top of the arachnoid mater and next to the skull.

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.
