clonic seizures, Newborn, epidural hematomaAbstract
Newborns constitute a high-risk population for brain injuries (1). Intracranial hemorrhages in newborns are uncommon, with epidural hematoma (EH) being particularly rare. (2)
We present a rare case of neonatal non-traumatic epidural hemorrhage, revealed by clonic seizures in a 3-day-old newborn, highlighting the management and the newborn’s outcome.
