Spontaneous bilateral chronic subdural haematoma in an 8-month-old male with osteogenesis imperfecta: A case report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare inherited collagen disease that presents most commonly with increased bone fragility. We present an 8-month-old male child with a 5-month history of progressive abnormal increase in the size of the head and a history of multiple long bone fractures not preceded by trauma and blue sclerae. Cranial CT scan showed bilateral frontoparietal chronic subdural haematoma. X-rays of the limbs showed healed left humeral and right femoral fractures. He underwent bilateral burrhole and drainage of haematoma with a good postoperative outcome. Osteogenesis imperfecta with spontaneous bilateral chronic subdural haematoma is rare, thus informs this case report.
