Summary
A thoracolumbar subdural hematoma (SDH) resulting from nonaccidental trauma in a 4-month-old infant is reported from Women and Children's Hospital, University of Buffalo, NY. An algorithm for the evaluation and treatment of traumatic extracranial carotid artery dissection is proposed, based on a review of the literature. Arterial dissection is identified as the fourth most common cause of arterial ischemic stroke in children, after sickle cell disease, cardiac embolism, and moyamoya disease.
