Bilateral acute on chronic subdural hematomas
Updates to Case Attributes
Haematoma collecting, usually following trauma, between the meningeal and arachnoid layers of the dura.
May cross sutures but not dural attachments.
Bilateral subdural haematomas are less common than unilateral.
Subdurals may contain: hyperacute, acute, subacute and chronic haematoma
Half of subdural haematomas are due to rupture of a bridging vein and the other half due to torn cortical arteries.

Bilateral acute on chronic subdural haematomas are less common than unilateralillustrating a 'layered' effect to the variable ages of blood.
The equal sized bilateral subdurals has resulted in no real midline shift or mass effect.
Subdurals may contain: hyperacute, acute, subacute and chronic haematoma
Half of subdural haematomas are due to rupture of a bridging vein and the other half due to torn cortical arteries.
