Notes:

• This article recorded the puzzling phenomenon of six infants with multiple long bone fractures and subdural hematoma.
• A history of injury is lacking in almost half the cases of subdural hematoma.
• Weeks or months may elapse between the injury and the onset of the signs of subdural hematoma.
