Symptoms appearing in less than 48 hours are due to an acute subdural hematoma. This type of bleeding is often fatal, and results from tearing of the venous sinus.

A subdural hematoma is similar to a bruise. When damage occurs to the head, blood collects in the space between the brain and dura mater.
