Case report reveals spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma in a child, suggesting conservative management options.
One of the most common causes of death in patients with traumatic brain injury who need urgent decompression surgery is acute subdural hematoma. Even after rigorous treatment and monitoring, the prognosis for patients with acute subdural hematoma is relatively poor. Hereby, we report a 7-month-old male baby with a traumatic acute subdural hematoma that had rapid improvement in clinical condition with a computed tomography scan of a spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma within a day. Several possibilities are explained regarding the spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma. This case can be used as a lesson for us regarding the conservative management of acute subdural hematoma.
