Temporal development of subdural collections in infants with confessed abusive head trauma: a forensic neuroimaging study
Question Reliable evidence-based data on the development of SDCs is sparse but required for expert opinions on pediatric AHT. Findings Reference data on the evolution of the imaging appearance of SDCs and associated phenomena in confirmed cases of AHT are provided. Clinical relevance As there is a great need for estimating the age of injury in criminal and civil proceedings, many clinical radiologists are confronted with the diagnostic and forensic aspects of AHT that are addressed in the present study.
