Abstract

Prenatal subdural hematoma is a rare condition and causes death or neurological impairment in newborns. The etiology of subdural hematoma is still controversial, but trauma is seen most important reason. In this disease, a multidisciplinary study is required, which includes gynecology, neurosurgery, neonatology, and radiology. We presented a newborn with prenatal subdural hematoma who we operated a treated in a multidisciplinary way.

Pregnant women constitute 1.5 % of the patients who admitted to the hospital because of trauma [7]. Many other etiological factors can cause this type of bleeding [3] These patients are difficult to treat since they require many clinics to work together. A 25-years-old pregnant woman was treated with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for habitual abortion beginning in the first week of gestation. She fell face down on the 35th week of pregnancy but she did not apply a hospital because she did not feel any serious discomfort. A postnatal brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies confirmed the large left hemispheric subdural hematoma The postoperative tomography demonstrated that evacuation of subdural hematoma and no residual collection
