    Negative pressure aspiration of infant subdural hematomas can cause blood shifts and re-bleeding. These blood flow changes, not "brain stem shock," may explain infant deaths after the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurosurgery
    • Infant Physiology

    Background:

    • Subdural hematomas are common in infants.
    • Aspiration is a treatment for infant subdural hematomas.

    Observation:

    • Negative pressure aspiration of subdural hematomas in infants causes a blood shift towards the head.
    • This aspiration technique can potentially restart bleeding.

    Findings:

    • The elasticity of a 47 cm circumference infant skull was estimated.
    • Observed blood distribution changes are sufficient to explain infant mortality post-aspiration.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest an alternative explanation for infant deaths following subdural hematoma aspiration.
    • This challenges the necessity of invoking
