Chronic subdural hematoma is a long-standing collection of blood on the surface of the brain, usually resulting from head trauma. It likely resulted from an accidental injury, such as a fall.
This brain injury may have led to prolonged immobility or decreased consciousness, making the person more susceptible to infections like acute bronchopneumonia.
