What is most commonly associated with SUBDURAL HEMATOMA?

bridging veins
MMA
berry aneurysm
thinner enamel

The correct answer is: bridging veins

Subdural hematoma is a type of brain injury where there is bleeding underneath the dura mater (a protective membrane covering the brain). This bleeding is often associated with damage to the bridging veins that connect the brain to its protective membranes, leading to a gradual collection of blood between the brain and skull. MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) may also cause subdural hematomas, but it is not the most commonly associated cause. Berry aneurysms are associated with subarachnoid hemorrhages, a different type of intracranial bleeding. Thin enamel, commonly caused by genetics or certain medical conditions, is a dental issue and is not associated with subdural hematomas.
