Zusammenfassung:	In describing a 10-month-old boy with bilateral calcified subdural hematomas, Mohammed Al Wohaibi and associates(1) report that the hematomas, which occurred after replacement shunting at 4 months of age, calcified intensely within a period of 6 months. They discuss trauma, as well as infection and overshunting, as a possible cause of subdural hemorrhages in general, but state that the mechanism for the underlying calcifications remains unclear.
