Bleeding into this space is called a subdural hemorrhage. Other names for subdural hematoma are subdural hemorrhage or intracranial hematoma. More broadly, it is also a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a collection of blood below the inner layer of the dura but external to the brain and arachnoid membrane (see the images below). Subdural hematoma is the most common type of traumatic intracranial mass lesion.

A subdural hemorrhage, also called a subdural hematoma, is a kind of intracranial hemorrhage, which is the bleeding in the area between the brain and the skull. Specifically, it is a bleed just under the dura, which is one of the protective layers of tissue that surrounds the brain.
Subdural hematoma: Bleeding into the space between the dura (the brain cover) and the brain itself. This space is called the subdural space.
An acute SDH is hyperdense (white) on CT, whereas a sub-acute SDH will appear isodense (grey) and hypodense (black) when chronic. A chronic SDH is a collection of blood breakdown products that has been present for at least 3 weeks and can become acute-on-chronic if small hemorrhages in the collection occur.
In older adults, the veins are often already stretched because of brain shrinkage (atrophy) and are more easily injured. Some subdural hematomas occur without cause (spontaneously). The following increase the risk for a subdural hematoma: Medicines that thin the blood (such as warfarin or aspirin)
The symptoms of a subdural haematoma can develop soon after a severe head injury, or gradually over days or weeks after a more minor head injury. Sometimes you may not remember hitting your head at all. Symptoms of a subdural haematoma can include: a headache that keeps getting worse.

Unspecified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, initial encounter. S06. 9X9A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Code Description: The CPT code that would be billed for the procedure is 10140 (Incision and drainage of hematoma, seroma or fluid collection). Lay Description: The physician makes an incision in the skin to decompress and drain a hematoma, seroma, or other collection of fluid.
A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a common neurosurgical disorder that often requires surgical intervention. It is a type of intracranial hemorrhage that occurs beneath the dura (essentially, a collection of blood over the surface of the brain) and may be associated with other brain injuries (see the images below).
Most patients are admitted in the hospital anywhere from 10 to 20 days based on their condition, need for rehabilitation, and the presence and/or course of vasospasm. Patients diagnosed with benign perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage are usually discharged within 1 week.
As a subdural hematoma expands in the subdural space, it raises the ICP and deforms the brain. The rise in ICP is initially compensated by efflux of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) toward the spinal axis and compression of the venous system, expediting venous drainage through the jugular veins.
If SDH is causing brain herniation, as evidenced by oculomotor palsy or Cushing's reflex (bradycardia, hypertension, and irregular respirations), hyperosmolar therapy with mannitol (an osmotic diuretic) should be considered. Mannitol general dosing is 0.25 to 1 gm/kg i.v. bolus given as quickly as possible.
The ‘S’ is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The seventh character ‘S’ identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.”.
The sequela code may also be expanded at the fourth, fifth, or sixth character levels to include the manifestation
There is no time limit on when a sequela code can be used. The residual effect may be present early or may occur months or years later. Two codes are generally required: one describing the nature of the sequela and one for the sequela. The code for the acute phase of the illness or injury is never reported with a code for the late effect.
Rationale: Scar contractures due to burn injury are reported with code L90.5 that is the first-listed or principal diagnosis and the burn injury is reported as a secondary code to identify the cause of the sequela.

For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
A subdural hematoma (American spelling) or subdural haematoma (British spelling), also known as a subdural haemorrhage (SDH), is a type of hematoma, usually associated with traumatic brain injury. Blood gathers between the dura mater, and the brain.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
