A member asked:
Is it possible that someone have a subdural hematoma even if they are bleeding on their scalp?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Subdural hematoma: Bleeding from the scalp will not cause a subdural hematoma, this type of bleed comes from a more serious type of trauma, not just from a scalp laceration.

Possibly: A person can have a subdural hematoma in addition to bleeding on the scalp. The bleeding on the scalp may just be the external stigmata of the head injury. You cannot tell if there is an underlying subdural hematoma without a ct scan of the head. Certainly, altered mental status, coma, pupillary asymmetry are clues that there may be something more serious inside.
