The brain UNDER convexity SDHs may show significant perfusion alterations so beware the elderly patient with a minor fall who has mass effect disproportionate to the size of the SDH as it may be the manifestation of impending disastrous brain swelling.  A new concept in head trauma imaging that will be discussed is the hematohygroma and its implications in abusive head trauma.  }, keywords = {}, url = {https://www.icrjournal.ir/article_75484.html}, eprint = {} }
