Abstract

<p>Posttraumatic transient subdural fluid collection is occasionally encountered in pediatric patients. 42 pediatric patients with head trauma who detected intra­cranial hemorrhage or skull fracture by neuro­imaging were treated at Hyogo Prefectural Kobe Children’s Hospital between April 2014 and September 2015. Patients underwent acute surgery were excluded. Posttraumatic subdural fluid collection was found in 8 (19.0%) of 42 patients and 7 (87.5%) of 8 were under 2 years old. Chronic subdural hematoma developed in 5 (11.9%) of 42 patients and they were all detected subdural fluid collection before chronic subdural hematoma developed. Our study suggests that posttraumatic transient subdural fluid collection is more common in infants and may later develop chronic subdural hematoma.</p>
