I62.09: Nontraumatic subdural haemorrhage: Unspecified

On the outside of the brain and spinal cord there are three thin meninges (linings). A tough meninx, the dura mater, is on the outside. Below that are two soft meninges. There has been a bleed in the space between your dura mater and your outer pia mater (soft meninx).
A bleed can happen suddenly or be there for a long time.
