T Takagi, and H Fukuoka, and S Wakabayashi, and H Nagai, and T Shibata

During the past 19 years, 229 autopsies of intracranial hemmorrhages were performed at the Department of Pathology, and 23 cases of posterior fossa subdural hemorrhages were discovered (10.0%). 25 cases of posterior fossa subdural hemorrhages (2 of our own treated surgically and 23 untreated found at autopsy) are described in detail. 2 cases treated surgically responded favorably to surgical treatment. The mechanism of hemorrhage into posterior fossa subdural spaces is investigated and reconsidered following a review of the literature. The necessity for CT is emphasized for early diagnosis of posterior fossa subdural hemorrhage.

D006408	Hematoma, Subdural	Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.
