I62: Other nontraumatic intracranial haemorrhage
I62.0: Nontraumatic subdural haemorrhage
Nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage is a serious medical condition that involves bleeding in the space between the covering of the brain (the dura) and the surface of the brain. This isn't caused by injury or trauma, but by other factors such as blood disorders, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, or aging's effects on blood vessels. Major symptoms can include headaches, uneven pupil size, speech difficulties, weakness or numbness, balance problems or falls, and in severe cases, seizures or loss of consciousness. The blood accumulation can increase pressure on the brain, disrupting its normal function, a situation which can rapidly progress into a life-threatening condition. This condition primarily affects the nervous system and requires immediate medical attention.
