From what I understand, this type of hematoma is caused by a rupture of one of
the many small blood vessels that cross between the inner and the outer
membrane. The injurious impact, if that is the cause, can be anywhere and can be
so slight that it is not even remembered by the patient. It can take weeks or
even years for it to be serious enough to attract attention. It can happen among
the elderly and people on blood thinner at any time and without any injury to
trigger it.
They should be able to relieve the pressure, remove the blood mass, and seal the
affected blood vessel.
Think positive and pray hard.
