Abstract

The diagnosis and management of acute subdural hematoma is important in neurosurgery practice as it is encountered in 10 to 20% of the severe traumatic brain injury cases. Rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma within few hours is seen rarely on the computed tomography scan. We present a case of 2-year-old girl in whom acute subdural hematoma resolved spontaneously within hours of injury.
