What is a subdural hematoma?
A Subdural Hematoma is a condition of bleeding inside the head. In Subdural Hematoma bleeding occurs within the skull but outside the actual brain tissues. There are three membrane layers called meninges and it lies between the bony skull and brain tissue. Icd 10 code for subdural hematoma is I62.00 and other related icd codes also updated in below table.
The main purpose of the meninges is to provide a cover and protect the brain. If a patient suffers from subdural hematoma, he/she feels a tear in a blood vessel, mostly a vein, and blood is leaking out of the torn vessel into the space below the dura mater membrane layer.
This space is known as Subdural Space because it is below the dura and bleeding into this space is known in medical terms as Subdural Hemorrhage.
