Trial of life: Well infants presenting more than 24 h after head injury with a scalp haematoma: A 10-year review.

Infants presenting after 24 h with isolated scalp haematomas had good short-term outcomes despite a high prevalence of underlying injury on imaging. Expectant management, rather than imaging, may be a valid approach in this patient population. However, some of these injuries may have been the result of inflicted injury, and all of these patients require a robust assessment regardless of the decision to use a computed tomography scan.
