Right mixed density subdural hematoma. There is a right to left midline shift and obliteration of the right lateral ventricle.
Gray/white differentiation is preserved.
There is a right occipital skull fracture.
This child was taken emergentily to OR where an acute and hyperacute subdural hematoma was evacuated. A torn right vein of Trolard was discovered.
Case Discussion
An acute subdural hematoma is not always found adjacent to the skull fracture site. A barely noticeable occipital fracture can have potent deleterious effects intracranially.
