Subdural hematomas of the posterior fossa in normal-weight newborns. Report of two cases

J Neurosurg. 1984 Nov;61(5):972-4. doi: 10.3171/jns.1984.61.5.0972.

Abstract

Two cases are reported of subdural hematoma of the posterior fossa in normal-weight full-term newborn infants. The most salient factors in these cases were the lack of specific symptoms and signs indicating the nature and location of the lesion, the importance of computerized tomography for diagnosis, and the good results obtained with early surgical treatment.
