A subdural hygroma (SDG) is a collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), without blood, located under the dural membrane of the brain. Most subdural hygromas are believed to be derived from chronic subdural hematomas. They are commonly seen in elderly people after minor trauma, but can also be seen in children following infection or trauma.

2024年8月11日 · Subdural hygromas (alternative plural: hygromata 9), or subdural effusions, refer to the accumulation of fluid in the subdural space. Where it is associated with head injury it can also be termed a traumatic subdural hygroma. Subdural hygromas are encountered in all age-groups but are overall most common in the elderly 7.

2023年11月5日 · Subdural hygroma is a medical condition characterized by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the subdural space of the brain.

A cystic hygroma — or lymphangioma — is a birth defect that appears as a sac-like structure with a thin wall that most commonly occurs in the head and neck area of an infant. As the baby grows in the womb, it can develop from pieces of material that carries fluid and white blood cells.

Subdural hygroma happens when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up on the brain’s surface. This can come from different reasons and shows many signs. These signs need careful checking. Head trauma can cause subdural hygroma by breaking the arachnoid membrane. This lets CSF gather. Neurosurgery can also cause it by messing with fluid paths.

Hydrops and cystic hygroma are conditions that can affect the development of a fetus. Hydrops, also known as hydrops fetalis, refers to the abnormal accumulation of fluid in two or more body cavities, such as the abdomen, chest, or skin. It can occur due to various underlying causes.
