Excerpt

In a review by Fernando et al. [1] published in this journal on the pitfalls and controversies in the neuroimaging of nonaccidental trauma, the section addressing the age of subdural collections (“hyperacute versus acute on chronic subdural hematomas”) did not fully explore the careful approach necessary for the proper assessment of the nature and age of subdural hematomas (SDH) evident in some infants suspected of having nonaccidental head injury (NAHI). The purpose of this commentary is to expand on this topic and bring further clarification. …
