Abstract

The nature of pathophysiological conditions implicated in subdural fluid collections of infants and children are poorly understood. The plasticity of the brain is compromised, particularly in the presence of craniocerebral disproportion which occurs when subdural fluid is removed. For forty-nine infants and children under three years of age, surgery for subdural fluid collections was performed at Tokyo Medical College Hospital. Four out of these cases are showed craniocerebral disproportion with extremely enlarged subdural spaces of more than 30 mm in width and were of unknown origin.
