pathophysiology
is a serious condition where blood collects between the brain surface and the skull. This is due to blood escaping from a damaged vessel in the subdural space and forming a blood clot (hematoma), however pressure on the brain increases. The pressure on the brain causes a subdural hematoma's symptoms. If pressure inside the skull rises to very high level, a subdural hematoma can lead to unconsciousness and death
