    An acute subdural hematoma is caused by tearing of bridging veins from deceleration or rotational forces, causing blood to collect between the arachnoid and dura layers. On a CT scan, an acute subdural hematoma appears as a high density, crescent shaped mass that does not cross dural reflections and may contain hypodense areas indicating active bleeding or fluid.

    Acute Subdural Hematoma

    Deceleration and acceleration or rotational forces that tear bridging veins can
    cause an acute subdural hematoma. The blood collects in the space between
    the arachnoid matter and the dura matter. The hematoma on CT has the
    following characteristics:
    - Crescent shaped
    - Hyperdense, may contain hypodense foci due to serum, CSF or active
    bleeding
    - Does not cross dural reflections

    High density, crescent shaped hematoma (arrowheads)


    overlying the right cerebral hemisphere. Note the shift of the
    normally midline septum pellucidum due to the mass effect arrow.

    The hypodense region (arrow) within the high density

    hematoma (arrowheads) may indicate active bleeding.
