Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of bridging vein rupture/thrombosis in newborns, particularly comparing those with and without subdural hematomas, as this condition has been linked to abusive head trauma.
- Analyzing 412 brain MRIs from neonates, the research found that subdural hematomas were present in 68% of cases, while only 1.5% exhibited signs of bridging vein rupture/thrombosis.
- The study concluded that bridging vein rupture/thrombosis is extremely rare at birth and does not significantly correlate with the presence of subdural hematomas, suggesting that these findings may not be indicative of abuse.
