    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • A 7-month-old boy presented with postnatal jaundice and hypertrophic pyloric stenosis requiring surgical intervention.
    • The infant experienced cardiorespiratory arrest during anesthesia induction, necessitating resuscitation.

    Observation:

    • Postoperative complications included bilateral pneumonia.
    • Three months later, the child developed signs of increased intracranial pressure, including high-grade papilledema.

    Findings:

    • Ventriculography and subdurography revealed an extensive subdural hygroma, approximately 2 cm thick.
    • The patient underwent treatment for the subdural hygroma.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for serious neurological complications, such as subdural hygroma, following neonatal surgical procedures.
    • Early recognition and management of increased intracranial pressure are crucial for favorable neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants.
    • The successful management highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in pediatric critical care.
