    Author: Tikvica Luetic A, Habek D, Stanojevic M, Miric Tesanic D, Padovan-Stern R.
    Journal: Z Geburtshilfe Neonatol; 2016 Dec; 220(6):262-264. PubMed ID: 27540980.
    Abstract:
    A fetal epidural hematoma is a rare finding during the prenatal period, with different etiologies such as maternal trauma, infections, or maternal use of specific medications such as warfarin. Both ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been used successfully to evaluate the fetal central nervous system. Although these methods are also useful in detecting and evaluating a fetal epidural hematoma, brain function of the neonate cannot be exactly predicted on the basis of the prenatal findings. According to the literature data to date, this is the first reported case of prenatally detected fetal epidural hematoma of unknown etiology with a good outcome.
