Abstract
Children with apparent life-threatening events (ALTEs) often pose a diagnostic and management dilemma in a pediatric emergency department. Although the term ALTE is nonspecific and symptoms are vague, it may have alarming connotations and may signal serious life threatening conditions. It may be a subtle presentation of child abuse. We report an infant who was presented with an ALTE and subsequently determined to have subdural hematoma caused by nonaccidental injury.
