Get Subdural Effusion Wikipedia

A subdural effusion is a collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) trapped between the surface of the brain and the outer lining of the brain (the dura matter). If this fluid becomes infected, the condition is called a subdural empyema.

A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood outside the brain. They're usually caused by serious head injuries. Bleeding and added pressure on the brain from a subdural hematoma can be life-threatening. Some stop and go away suddenly; others need surgical drainage.

Subdural hygromas (alternative plural: hygromata 9) refer to the accumulation of fluid in the subdural space. In many cases, it is considered an epiphenomenon of head injury when it is called a traumatic subdural hygroma.

Abstract. Subdural hygroma consists of a cerebrospinal fluid-like subdural fluid collection with a low oncotic pressure in comparison with venous blood. Its etiology and pathophysiology, which may be different from other subdural fluid collections, are reviewed.

Treatment. Most subdural hygromas that are asymptomatic do not require any treatment. Some might opt to perform a simple burr-holes to alleviate intracranial pressure (ICP). Occasionally a temporary drain is placed for 24-48 hours post op.

Intracranial subdural empyema is a loculated collection of pus in the subdural space between the dura mater and the arachnoid. [1] Prior to 1943, it was referred to as subdural abscess, cortical abscess, purulent pachymeningitis, phlegmonic meningitis, and subdural suppuration.
