Natural history of traumatic meningeal bleeding in infants: semiquantitative analysis of serial CT scans in corroborated cases

Background The natural history of posttraumatic meningeal bleeding in infants is poorly documented, and the differences between inflicted head injury (IHI) and accidental trauma (AT) are debated. Autopsy findings have suggested that anoxia also plays a role in bleeding; however, these findings may not reflect what occurs in live trauma patients.
