Overview
Pathophysiology
Physiology
The normal physiology of bridging veins can be understood as follows:[1]
- In embryonic period, there is lots of anastomosis between brain and dura matter venous drainage.
- After 12 weeks of gestation these anastomosis will disappear and what is left from them create bridging veins.
- These vein s will drain venous blood from underlying brain tissue to the dural sinuses.

Pathogenesis
- It is understood that subdural hematoma is the result of:
- Rupture in bridging veins (mostly due to head trauma) and hemorrhage between dura matter and arachnoid, leading to subdural hematoma.
- Rupture of small cortical atreries and hemorrhage into the space between dura matter and arachnoid, leading to subdural hematoma.
- Intracranial hypotension (mostly due to lumbar punctue) and traction of bridging veins which leads to subdural hematoma
- Subdural hematomas as a result of arterial rupture accounts for 20% of SDH cases and are mostly in temporoparietal region.
- Since most of the SDH cases are due to vein rupture, the bleeding will stop on its own as a result of a clot formation or increased intracranial pressure.

Genetics
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of subdural hematoma include:
- ADPKD[2][3][4][5][6]
- Osteogenesis imperfecta
- Fabry's disease
- Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB
- Type B Niemann–Pick disease
Associated Conditions
Conditions associated with subdural hematoma include:[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
- Elderly
- Anticoagulant use
- Alcoholics
- Seizure
- CSF shunt
- Arachnoid cyst
- Meningioma
- Cocaine
- Dural metastase
- Roller coaster
