Garrison-Morton-Norman 4878: "Successful operative intervention in intracranial hemorrhage of the new-born." Cushing Bibliography no. 68: "Presented at the Philadelphia meeting of the American Neurological Association, June 2, 1905." "Cushing's first paper relating to pediatric neurosurgery. . . . He reported four infants, who, following either prolonged labor and spontaneous delivery or a difficult delivery, were depressed and developed seizures and other neurological signs. Cushing operated a few days after birth, finding massive subdural hematomas. Two of these new-borns survived, one with apparently minimal sequelae. He thus demonstrated that surgery on such newborns could be successful" (Dee James Canale and Lawrence D. Longo, in Ashwal, Founders of Child Neurology, p. 461). N° de ref. del artículo 16877
