Abstract
Benign enlargement of the subarachnoid space (BESS) is a common incidental finding on neuroimaging in infants. We report a case of BESS, who developed subdural hematoma and raised intracranial pressure following minor trauma. This case report highlights the fact that BESS may not be so benign after all and protective measures should be taken in all infants found to have BESS.
