Abstract
Traumatic posterior fossa hematomas are uncommon. Subdural hematomas i n this location are probably the rarest. The natural history in acute cases is one ofrapid deterioration and death from brain-stem compressi on. Rapid surgical intervention is indicated in acute cases. We report a case of a traumatic posterior fossa subdural hematoma in a 3-year-o ld child treated conservatively with agood outcome.
