ABSTRACT
Images 4-4 and 4-5 Subdural hematoma This 52-year-old alcoholic woman fell at home, and struck her forehead on the floor. Notice the large right-sided contusion on the reflected scalp. Blood can also be seen oozing from the undersurface of the unreflected, cut dura (Image 4-4). After the calvarium has been cut, the pathologist should personally remove the skull cap. The dura can then be adequately examined and removed, and both the volume and location of SDH measured.
