The patient presented in our emergency department with opisthotonus and raised intracranial pressure resulting from supratentorial hydrocephalus. An emergency ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was placed, which resolved the symptoms only temporarily.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If the infant is hypoglycaemic, also consider a metabolic workup. CT head is important to rule out a mass lesion or evidence of trauma once adequate airway secured.[intensivecarenetwork.com]
In this study, the surgical treatments for infantile PM complicated by SE were investigated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We aimed to compare the effective rate of effusion removal and the standardized morbidity ratio of poor prognosis of the two different treatments, and to discuss the future treatment methods possible.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to introduce an effective treatment for intractable contralateral subdural effusion after standard decompressive craniectomy in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to analyze the underlying mechanism.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This possibility should be considered whenever progress is unsatisfactory during treatment of subdural effusion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A neurosurgical operation was performed in 7 infants because of the poor effect of the above treatment. In these 7 infants the encapsulation process was nearly complete.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The standardized morbidity ratio of poor prognosis (observed/expected poor prognosis) was 0.56 (95 % CI: 0.32-0.80) for the conservative treatment group versus 0.25 (95 % CI: 18 0.08-0.42) for the surgical procedure group.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis of posterior fossa subdural effusion after head trauma is relatively good.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thirty-four cases of infantile subdural effusion (ISE) were reviewed in relation to surgical treatment and its prognosis during an average of 4 years of extended follow-up.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis of subdural effusion is not as benign as that of enlargement of subarachnoid spaces, requiring differential diagnosis between these disorders.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment may include: Surgery to drain the effusion Drainage device, called a shunt, left in place for a short time or longer time Antibiotics given through a vein to treat the infection Outlook (Prognosis) Full recovery from a subdural effusion is expected[mclarenhealthplan.org]
The location, depth and etiology of the subdural effusion, the surgical approach that was used and the recurrence rates were studied in these patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Subdural effusion in an infant is a rare clinical scenario which may be secondary to a variety of etiologies. Massive subdural effusion is an extremely rare complication of head injury.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In our study, the etiology of meningitis was identified by CSF culture in 70 of the 87 cases and by Gram stained smear in two additional cases(3).[indianpediatrics.net]

The authors describe two patients with bilateral subdural effusion and cerebral displacement associated with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) and discuss the possible pathophysiological origins of these abnormalities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An attempt is made to explain the possible underlying pathophysiological mechanism of malignant subdural haemorrhagic effusion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Increased ICP may also decrease cerebral flood flow, possibly causing ischemia and edema; this further increases the ICP, causing a vicious circle of pathophysiologic events.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology An acute SDH is usually caused by either: Tearing of bridging veins from the cortex to one of the draining venous sinuses – typically occurring when bridging veins are sheared during rapid acceleration-deceleration of the head.[patient.info]
Ultimately, cystoperitoneal shunt was carried out in a desperate attempt to prevent impending rupture of scalp sutures at sites of previous bur-hole placement. This was followed by not only complete resolution of hygroma but also visual recovery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
