title: Posterior fossa subdural hematoma in a normally delivered, full-term newborn.
abstract: A large subdural hematoma of the posterior fossa was diagnosed by computerized tomography in a normally delivered, full-term newborn. This potentially treatable condition has been previously diagnosed in only 13 reported cases during the last 40 years. It is conceivable that the routine use of CT scan in newborns who show progressive neurological dysfunction will facilitate the rapid detection and treatment of similar cases.
