Subdural

Subdural (from the Latin sub - under and dura mater - dura mater) is a term denoting structures located under the dura mater (dura mater).

The subdural space is located between the dura mater and the arachnoid membrane of the brain. It is filled with a small amount of subdural fluid, which performs a shock-absorbing function.

The term "subdural" is often used to describe pathological processes in this space. For example, a subdural hematoma is an accumulation of blood between the dura mater and the surface of the brain that occurs due to head injuries.

Thus, the term "subdural" refers to the location of structures beneath the dura mater and their relationship to the subdural space.

The subdural space is one of the most important components of the brain and is located between the dura and arachnoid membranes of the brain. Thus, the subdural region represents a protective barrier located between the surface of the brain and the external environment.

As the name "subdural" suggests, this space is located under the dura mater, so it does not protrude into the brain like other deeper areas, but surrounds it like a case. This arrangement provides additional benefits for maintaining homeostasis and protecting the brain from mechanical and chemical insults.

However, this location also has some disadvantages.

Subdural hematoma or subdural hemorrhage is a common medical condition that can be caused by head trauma or contusion. In this case, bleeding occurs under the surface of the skull when the integrity of the dura mater of the brain is disrupted.

A head injury can lead to numerous negative effects on the body, including impaired brain function. Subdural hematomas require careful treatment and medical monitoring, as they can lead to serious complications such as cerebral infarction, pneumocephalus (accumulation of air in the brain), epileptic seizure or stroke.

The main symptom of a subdural hematoma is a throbbing headache in the temples or forehead, which may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Other symptoms may include decreased vision, loss of consciousness, and difficulty thinking and speaking. If you notice these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Treatment for subdural hematomas includes treating the underlying cause of the injury (such as controlling bleeding), using pain medications, and even surgery to remove blood clots. It is important to note
