| Abstract: Subdural hematomas are uncommon in term infants. Here we report a case of organized subdural hematoma in a twenty days old term baby boy, who was admitted because of seizures. Organized subdural hematoma presented as a space-occupying lesion over the cerebral convexity of this infant. There was no definite history of trauma and the findings of physical and laboratory examinations were unremarkable. Discussing this case, the diagnostic priority in a term infant presenting with subdural hemorrhage was reviewed for physical child abuse, which has been a medical and social issue in many developed countries and has recently become an issue in Turkey. | ||
