Neonatal Tetanus: Uncommonly encountered Radiological manifestations

Abstract

Abstract. Neonatal tetanus is a rare, acute, occasionally fatal disease, the incidence of which has greatly diminished with routine immunizations. The radiological features are infrequently encountered nowadays. Neonatal tetanus is still prevalent in some developing countries.
We present a case of a neonate who developed some of the complications and radiological features described in cases of neonatal tetanus.
