- Abstract
Purpose: A rare case of a newborn girl born by a normal vaginal delivery who developed a severe supratentorial subdural hematoma due to a laceration in the tentorium cerebelli is presented. Methods and results: The girl, born by normal vaginal delivery at 39 weeks and 4 days of gestation, showed an intermittent decrease in oxygen saturation and bulging of the anterior fontanelle. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a subdural hematoma centered in the left occipital region with a midline shift. Hematoma evacuation with craniotomy was performed, and the source of bleeding was a laceration of the tentorium cerebelli. Conclusion: Severe supratentorial subdural hematomas can occur due to laceration of the tentorium cerebelli even in a normal vaginal delivery.
