Help needed regarding subarachnoid hematoma. and my family.

[pinkdolly]

Hi,

My dh's mum died aged 35 from a subarachnoid heamatome. My BIL has now told me that it is heriditary and I am worried for both my dH and our 3 girls. the thing I cant seem to find anything to supprt BIL's claim. I am would really appreciate it if anyone has any info on this. Thanx

no idea, but bumping for you

My mother died of the same. there is 'some' evidence that it can be heriditary, I read alot about it at the time but decided that the evidence is so thin that it's not worth fretting about.

Everyone who knows me knows that if I collapse or complain of a vicious headache they are to call am ambulance immediately.

Whilst serious haemorrages can be fatal, small ones need not be if treated promptly.

HTH a little xx

Hi

Know a little bit about this, someone in my family had a haematoma. In a small percentage of cases they can be hereditary but more than 1 family member would probably be known to have sufferred from this if that was the case. I am guessing your dh's mother died some time ago? If it was recently any scans done at the time would help to identify if it was the inherited type.

I would go to see you gp for advice. Maybe if you have serious concerns you dh could go for an MRI scan?
