TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Parietal pseudofracture and spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage suggesting nonaccidental trauma: report of 2 cases JO - Pediatric neurosurgery A1 - Fenton, Laura Z. A1 - Sirotnak, A. P. A1 - Handler, M. H. SP - 318 EP - 322 VL - 33 IS - 6 N2 - Massive intracranial hemorrhage, no history of trauma and radiographic findings that were initially interpreted as linear parietal fractures raised the possibility of nonaccidental trauma in 2 infants. Both had severe coagulopathy, 1 due to hemorrhagic disease of the newborn (vitamin K deficiency) and the other due to disseminated herpes simplex virus infection. Both infants died. At autopsy, the parietal bone abnormalities were not fractures, but proved to be an anomalous suture in 1 and a connective tissue fissure in the other.
