Chronic Subdural Hematoma
A chronic subdural hematoma is a slow accumulation of blood between the layers that surround the brain, which forms gradually, often weeks after a blow to the head that may have seemed mild.
Who it affects most frequently: It is seen mainly in older adults and can set in so gradually that the history of the blow goes unnoticed.
Signs worth watching for: Persistent headache, confusion, drowsiness, changes in behavior, weakness, or balance problems that appear little by little.
Who treats it? The neurosurgeon and the neurologist are the specialists who evaluate this condition. If a person, especially an older one, shows these changes after head trauma, it is important to seek medical evaluation.
