Idiopathic chronic subdural hematoma in the newborn.
BACKGROUND
Evidence of intrauterine development of chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) is extremely rare. A very limited number of cases with known and acceptable etiological explanation are reported. We were able to find out only four presented cases of intrauterine development of CSH without known etiology.


METHODS
We present our case with a newborn baby with CSH without known etiology. Short literature review and possible etiological factors are observed.
