Non-accidental injury is the commonest cause of subdural haematoma in infants. Method(s): We describe two cases of SDH following spinal anaesthesia in infants. Result(s): In both cases, forensic investigation was commenced and no evidence of child abuse was found. Both children are well 2 years after diagnosis. Conclusion(s): Paediatric health workers should be aware of the possibility of SDH after spinal anaesthesia and consider this as a differential diagnosis when investigating possible non-accidental injury in an infant.Copyright © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00381-015-2862-8 | ISSN: | 0256-7040 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/40047 | Type: | Article | Type of Clinical Study or Trial: | Case series or case report |
