Acute and Chronic Subdural Haemorrhage

Understanding the Difference:

  • Acute Subdural Haemorrhage: Occurs immediately after a head injury, resulting in thick bleeding that may require urgent evacuation via craniotomy.
  • Chronic Subdural Haemorrhage: A slow “ooze” following minor head trauma. It is an inflammatory process involving repeated healing and bleeding over a long period.

Patients with chronic haemorrhages may tolerate larger volumes of blood before showing symptoms, but significant “mass effect” or midline shift requires neurosurgical intervention.
