G97.83: Postoperative spinal subdural haemorrhage

You bled between the dura mater and the outer of the two soft meninges after an operation.

Most vertebrae consist of a vertebral body and a vertebral arch. The vertebral body bears the weight of the body. The vertebral arches lie on top of one another to form the spinal canal. The spinal cord lies in the vertebral canal.

The brain and the spinal cord are surrounded by 3 meninges (linings). The outer meninx is the dura mater. A soft meninx is in direct contact with the dura mater on the inside of it. There is an additional soft meninx on the brain and spinal cord.

Blood has accumulated between your dura mater and the outer of the two soft meninges. This can lead to severe back pain. The spinal cord can also be compressed, This can result in paralyses and other symptoms or nerve failure.
