    Computed tomography revealed frontal lobe low density areas in infants, mimicking cortical atrophy. Many infants recovered with normal development through conservative treatment, suggesting infantile benign subdural effusion.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Neuroradiology

    Background:

    • Computed tomography (CT) imaging in infants can reveal low density areas over the frontal lobes.
    • These findings can mimic signs of cortical atrophy, posing a diagnostic challenge.

    Observation:

    • Twenty infant cases presented with frontal lobe hypodensity on CT.
    • Associated symptoms included mild intracranial pressure increase and developmental delays.

    Findings:

    • The peripheral hypodensity resolved over time in most cases.
    • Infants demonstrated essentially normal development, often without surgical intervention.

    Implications:

    • The condition may represent an "infantile benign subdural effusion."
    • Conservative management is recommended, avoiding unnecessary surgical procedures.
