Question 1 of 5
Which statement best describes a subdural hematoma?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because a subdural hematoma refers to bleeding between the dura mater (outermost layer of the meninges) and the skull. This space is known as the subdural space. Option B is incorrect because bleeding in a subdural hematoma is usually venous, not arterial, and brain compression may occur gradually. Option C is incorrect as it describes bleeding between the dura and the cerebrum, which is not specific to a subdural hematoma. Option D is incorrect as subdural hematomas can occur in various locations, not just the pretemporal region.
