Subdural haematoma. Coloured frontal 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram, showing a cutaway view of the skull and brain of a 35-year-old man with a subdural haematoma (red, centre right) on the left side of his brain due to a car accident. The scan shows arteries (pink) and venous sinuses (blue). A haematoma is an accumulation of blood from internal bleeding, in this case into the space between the dura mater (outer brain membrane) and the brain. This subdural haematoma is affecting the left temporoparietal region of the brain. Typically caused by blunt force trauma to the skull, surgery may be required to relieve pressure caused by the internal bleeding. | |
