  • Title: Macrocephaly and subdural collections.
    Author: Caré MM.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2021 May; 51(6):891-897. PubMed ID: 33999235.
    Abstract:
    Enlarged subarachnoid spaces are a common finding in infants and young children imaged for macrocephaly or an enlarging head circumference, and benign enlargement of the subarachnoid spaces is often diagnosed. Infrequently, presumed "spontaneous" subdural hemorrhages or subdural collections might complicate these enlarged subarachnoid spaces. Children with large bilateral subdural collections might also present for imaging with macrocephaly. Each scenario potentially raises concerns for prior injury because subdural hemorrhage is a frequent finding in children with abusive head trauma.
