✦ Synopsis

During the past 2 years six infants were seen at University of Wisconsin Hospitals (UWH) with subdural hematomas (effusions). This communication describes the abnormalities found on computerized tomographic (CT) evaluation of the six infants.

Five patients recently evaluated at University of Wisconsin Hospitals (UWH) for macrocrania, excessive head growth, or other signs of elevated intracranial pressure were diagnosed from clinical data and subdural puncture as having chronic subdural hematomas. CT scans in these five patients showed ventricular enlargement, decreased density in the anterior temporal regions, large sylvian cisterns, wide cerebral suM, wide interhemispheric fissures, and decreased density over the cerebral convexities. A sixth patient with a similar history and physical examination was diagnosed as having chronic subdural hematomas after CT scan showed findings identical to the other five infants.

After surgical evacuation of a subdural hematoma there is a constant relationship between the return of the deep veins to the midline, the clinical recovery and the absence of a new subdural collection, even when the anterior cerebral artery remains deviated across the midline.
