Subdural Hematoma Prognosis (Expectations)
The outlook following a subdural hematoma varies widely depending on the mechanism of head injury, the size of the subdural collection, and how quickly treatment is obtained.
Acute subdural hematomas present the largest challenge, with high rates of death and injury. Subacute and chronic subdural hematomas have good outcomes in most cases, with symptoms going away after drainage of the blood collection. There is a high frequency of seizures following subdural hematoma; however, these seizures are usually well controlled with medication.
