Question

The accumulation of blood during an epidural or subdural hemorrhage creates debilitating pressure on the brain and, without help, death is imminent. Where exactly is blood accumulating in a subdural hemorrhage?

Answer 1

The correct answer is -in the space between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater.

Explanation:

A subdural hemorrhage is the bleeding that takes place normally outside of the brain which leads to a lethal head injury if not stops. It generally takes place when vessels are injured or burst in between the arachnoid mater and dura mater which is a membrane that is like leather that surrounds the brain.

The arachnoid mater and dura mater are attached together with very tight space in between them, in epidural and subdural bleeding this space is filled with the blood and creates the debilitating pressure.

Thus, the correct answer is - in the space between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater.

Answer 2

Hemorrhage is also known as bleeding might occur due to external or internal injury in the body. The body naturally consists of anti-hemorrhagic factors and platelets for the formation of blood clot.

The brain hemorrhage is quite serious and harmful in the individual's body. This might also cause the death of an individual. During the brain hemorrhage the blood accumulates especially in the space between the arachnoid matter and the dura matter.
