CT Finding Differential Diagnosis Pathophysiology Forensic Relevance Heterogeneous hypo- and hyperdense SDC (mixed-density pattern) 1) Hyperacute + acute SDH Unclotted and clotted blood Compatible with 1 hemorrhagic event Assumed EoA: 0–24 hr 2) Acute SDH Compacted clot with serum separation Compatible with 1 hemorrhagic event Assumed EoA: 1–3 days 3) SDHHy “Acute blood” and CSF, eg, due to BV injury and concomitant arachnoid tear Compatible with 1 hemorrhagic event Assumed EoA: 1 day–min 1 wk 4) Acute + chronic SDH Acute hemorrhage within a pre-existing cSDH/SDHy Compatible with 2 (or more) hemorrhagic events Assumed EoA: 0–min. 2 wk Homogeneous iso- to hypodense SDC 1) Hyperacute SDH Unclotted blood Assumed EoA: 0–24 hr 2) Acute SDH + anemia Clotted blood with decreased number of erythrocytes Assumed EoA: 1–3 days 3) SDHy/SDHHy CSF or CSF + acute blood Assumed EoA: 1 day–min. 1 wk 4) Late subacute SDH Lysis of erythrocytes Assumed EoA: 1–3 wk 5) cSDH Serosanguinous fluid Assumed EoA: min. 2 wk
Note:—EoA indicates estimate of age; min, minimum.
