A term infant with normal Apgar scores developed seizures 1 day after a prolonged vaginal delivery. On the second day of life MRI demonstrated a haematoma within the leaves of the tentorium that was high signal on T1-W images (Fig. 1) and low-signal on T2-W images (Fig. 2). There were also bilateral convexity and parafalcine subdural haematomas. She was transferred to the ICU for management and observation. Extensive laboratory studies were normal. She remained in a stable condition for 2 weeks prior to discharge.
