Brain and Environs: Cranium, Ventricles, and Meninges - Intracranial Hemorrhage

5 important questions on Brain and Environs: Cranium, Ventricles, and Meninges - Intracranial Hemorrhage

Name 2 times of Subdural Hematoma?

1. Chronic: in elderly, blood can flow more freely, minimal or no trauma, slow progress
2. Acute: immediately after injury, impact must be high, worse prognosis

Name 2 types of Subarachnoid Hematoma?

1. Non-traumatic: sudden headache, rupture aneurysm (most of the time) or bleeding arteriovenous --> malformation (rare)
2. Traumatic: bleeding into CSF from damaged blood vessels associated with cerebral contusion & traumatic injuries (more common)

What happens during a Intracerebral or Parenchymal Hematoma?

bleeding within brain parenchyma in the cerebral hemispheres, brainstem, cerebellum or spinal cord.

Name 2 types of Intracerebral/Parenchymal Hematoma

Traumatic: contusion most common at temporal & frontal poles.  Always coupe/counter coup contusion
Non Traumatic: hypertension (most common), brain tumors, secondaire hemorrhage, after ischemic infarction, vascular malformations.

What happens during Extracranial Hemorrhage

bleeding in inner ear, subcutaneous tissues resulting in raccoon eyes, scalp hemorrhage
