Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subdural hematoma is a common injury in alcoholic patients due to the thinning of the brain's blood vessels, which makes them more susceptible to tearing with even minor trauma. This can lead to bleeding and a collection of blood between the brain and the outermost layer of the brain (dura), known as subdural hematoma. Concussion, intracerebral hematoma, and skull fracture may also occur in alcoholic patients with head trauma, but subdural hematoma is the most common.
