“…Acute computed tomographic (CT) studies of children with inflicted head injury frequently identified the occurrence of interhemispheric or convexity subdural hematomas (SDH) [17,25,30,33,35,38], subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), cerebral edema [29,30,33,35,38], and skull fractures [3,8,11,17,19,30,31,35,38], and infrequently, of epidural hematomas [30,34]. Although the incidence of atrophy on acute CT was low, atrophy [35,38], subdural hygromas, and ventriculomegaly [30] were frequently found on scans obtained at least 20 days after admission or in chronic cases of abuse.…”
