CSDH8
- The initiation of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is traditionally explained by rupture of bridging veins. (surgicalneurologyint.com)
- In common cSDH, pressure in the DVP may be normal and subdural bleeding may occur due to mechanical traction on the DVP. (surgicalneurologyint.com)
- BACKGROUND: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is caused by rupture of bridging intracranial veins located in the subdural space. (bvsalud.org)

(surgicalneurologyint.com)
- The topic of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) and its recurrence has recently gained much attention. (surgicalneurologyint.com)
- 28 ] The current pathophysiological understanding is that the subdural blood accumulation develops into a CSDH because of direct or indirect trauma to the cranium that causes the parasagittal bridging veins to tear. (surgicalneurologyint.com)
Cerebral7
