Surgical treatment of chronic subdural hematomas in infants

Surg Neurol. 1979 Feb;11(2):107-10.

Abstract

Subdural hematomas in infants are associated with a high risk of recurrence. In an effort to combat this risk, a surgical procedure consisting of excision of the subdural membranes, a reduction of the craniocerebral disproportion and a restoration of the normal angle of junction of the cerebral bridging veins and the superior sagittal sinus is proposed.
