Subdural Effusion
A subdural effusion is an accumulation of fluid between the membranes that cover the brain, in the space known as the subdural space. It can appear after an injury or from other causes that affect these coverings.
Common causes: It is usually associated with blows to the head, infections, or processes that produce fluid in that space; in some cases the reason is not immediately obvious.
Warning signs: Persistent headache, drowsiness, changes in behavior, or neurological disturbances are situations that require attention.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and the neurosurgeon are the professionals who study this condition through imaging tests. When neurological symptoms do not let up, the prudent thing is to seek medical evaluation without delay.
