Occipital interhemispheric acute subdural hematoma treated by lambdoid suture tap.
We present the case of a 6-week-old infant with acute subdural hematoma secondary to hemorrhagic disease of the newborn. Computed tomographic scan localization of the collection in the posterior portion of the supratentorial compartment allowed for its removal by lambdoid suture taps. The procedure is described.
