Chronic Subdural Hemorrhage
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Getting a prompt evaluation for a persistent headache, confusion, or weakness in an older person—especially if there was a blow to the head weeks earlier—helps detect chronic subdural hemorrhage. It consists of a slow accumulation of blood between the layers surrounding the brain.
What it is: Unlike acute hemorrhages, this one develops gradually, sometimes after a minor trauma that may have gone unnoticed.
Symptoms that may appear:
- Headache that does not go away
- Changes in memory, attention, or behavior
- Weakness or difficulty walking
Who treats it? The neurosurgeon is the specialist who evaluates this condition. When neurological symptoms set in little by little in an at-risk person, it is advisable to seek medical care without delay.
