Abstract

Frequently, the first sign of intracranial derangement in the infant is an abnormally rapid enlargement of the head. It is usually demonstrable before disturbances of function can be detected by neurological examination. Early and definitive diagnosis is essential. The first step is routine roentgenographic study; second, investigation of the subdural space; and, third, investigation of the ventricular system and subarachnoid pathways by air contrast radiography, either ventriculography or pneumoencephalography.
