Editing Subdural hematoma (section)

==Signs and symptoms==
The symptoms of a subdural hematoma have a slower onset than those of epidural hematomas because the lower-pressure veins involved bleed more slowly than arteries. [[Signs and symptoms]] of acute hematomas may appear in minutes, if not immediately,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-06-28 |title=Subdural hematoma : MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia |url=https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000713.htm |access-date=2012-07-27 |website=Nlm.nih.gov}}</ref> but can also be delayed as much as two weeks.<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Mezue WC, Ndubuisi CA, Chikani MC, Achebe DS, Ohaegbulam SC |date=July 2012 |title=Traumatic extradural hematoma in enugu, Nigeria |journal=Nigerian Journal of Surgery |volume=18 |issue=2 |pages=80–84 |doi=10.4103/1117-6806.103111 |pmc=3762009 |pmid=24027399 |doi-access=free}}</ref> Symptoms of chronic subdural hematomas are usually delayed more than three weeks after injury.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |vauthors=Ko BS, Lee JK, Seo BR, Moon SJ, Kim JH, Kim SH |date=January 2008 |title=Clinical analysis of risk factors related to recurrent chronic subdural hematoma |journal=Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society |volume=43 |issue=1 |pages=11–15 |doi=10.3340/jkns.2008.43.1.11 |pmc=2588154 |pmid=19096538}}</ref>

If the bleeds are large enough to put pressure on the brain, signs of increased [[intracranial pressure]] or brain damage will be present.<ref name="wagner" /> Other symptoms of subdural hematoma can include any combination of the following:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Subdural Hematoma: Types, Symptoms Treatments, Prevention |url=https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21183-subdural-hematoma |access-date=2022-03-10 |website=Cleveland Clinic}}</ref>
