Venous sinus thrombosis and subdural haematomas in infants-is there a causal link?

摘要

Subdural haematoma (SDH) is strongly associated with non-accidental head injury (NAHI) in children, and is a more specific marker of NAHI than other patterns of intracranial haemorrhage.1 Other than NAHI, the other main situation where SDH occurs in children is in accidental trauma.2 A few case reports have reported the occurrence of SDH in association with venous sinus thrombosis (VST), mostly in adults.
