Infantile subdural effusions. A case report.
A case of post-traumatic infantile subdural effusion is reported in which spontaneous resolution did not occur. The patient developed features of raised intracranial pressure 1 month after a head injury and required drainage of the persistent effusions followed by shunting of the hydrocephalus. The pathology and management of subdural effusions are discussed.
