โ๏ธ Subdural Hematoma โ bleeding beneath the outer brain membrane
โ๏ธ Intracerebral Hematoma โ bleeding within the brain tissue itself
โ ๏ธ When is Surgery Needed?
โ๏ธ Large or expanding hematomas causing increased brain pressure
โ๏ธ Neurological symptoms like unconsciousness, weakness, or seizures
