| ABSTRACT |
|
A normal-weight full-term newborn infant with a posterior fossa subdural hematoma is described. This potentially trea table condition has been previously diagnosed in only 13 reported cases. The clinical characteristics in this case were the lack of specific symptoms and signs indicating the nature and location of the lesion and the presence of signs of intracranial hypertension. Computed tomography allowed for earlier confirmation of the diagnosis and early surgical treatment resulted in excellent recovery. |
