Abstract

We present a case of chronic subdural hematoma diagnosed in utero by ultrasonography, and MRI at 31 weeks gestation. No cause of usual intracranial hemorrhage was found. There was no trauma. The child was operated after induced vaginal delivery at 37 weeks gestation, with good results and normal neuropsychological development after one year. We discuss the symptomatology and the therapeutic attitude in such cases.
