Acute subdural hematomas of arterial origin

Paul K. O'Brien, John W. Norris, Charles H. Tator

Open publisher page 50 citations

Abstract

✓ Five cases of acute subdural hematoma associated with bleeding from cortical arteries are described. In the four cases in which the affected vessel was examined histologically, there was a defect in the arterial wall secondary to avulsion of a small surface twig, which had apparently been traversing the subdural space. The possible mechanisms for damage to the vessel wall and the role of this arterial bleeding in subdural hematomas are discussed.
