AB A  2-month-old  previously  healthy  male  infant  was  brought  in  by  his  mother  after  a  seizure.  She  noted  that  he  had  seemed  irritable  and  was  not  feeding  well  several  hours  prior  to  the  seizure.  She  denied  any  trauma  or  fever.  On  examination,  retinal  hemorrhages  were  noted,  but  there  were  no  other  signs  of  trauma,  and  no  signs  of  infection.  The  child  was  irritable,  lethargic,  and  had  poor  tone.  An  emergent  non-contrast  CT  was  obtained  and  demonstrated  a  subdural  hematoma  (Figure  203-1).  Neurosurgery  was  consulted  and  the  infant  underwent  emergency  craniectomy  and  evacuation  of  the  subdural  hematoma  (Figure  203-2).  An  evaluation  for  child  abuse  was  initiated.
