A subdural hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel bursts and blood builds up between the brain and its outer lining, which exerts pressure on the brain.
Most subdural hemorrhages are triggered by impact to the head, resulting from a car accident or severe fall. It’s an injury rarely seen in mixed martial arts.
Sievert quotes sports medicine specialist Dr. Johnny Benjamin as saying, “This type of injury is common in the ‘regular world,’ say when a person falls and hits their head, especially someone on a blood thinner. But in combat sports, this injury is very, very rare.”
