Q: can a subdural hematoma happen with mild head injury?

: In a healthy younger person, common, not infrequent, mild head injuries would not be expected to cause intracranial bleeding. Those at highest risk are older, especially those with brain atrophy, possess bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, or thrombocytopenia, take anti-coagulants or anti-platelet drugs, or have high-impact head trauma.
