Brief Answer:
Subdural hematoma may cause loss of function due to pressure effect.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.

'Subdural hematoma' can definitely cause such symptoms, which may even worsen if the hematoma is not operated. Hematoma just means a collection of blood which can cause pressure effect on brain, thus resulting in damage to brain tissue.If operated in time, patient may recover well.

Mild periventricular microvascular disease, however, is of little significance and not the cause of these symptoms.

Hope that helps.If you have follow-up questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
