We report the case of an 11 months old boy who felt from 3 m high. He had an isolated brain injury with contusion and bleeding in the right frontal lobe. ⋯ This peritoneal fluid was transudative ascitic fluid which appeared to be mediated by beta-sympathetic hyperactivity of central origin. Sequential echography showed progressive improvement and disappearance of the ascite on 19th day post trauma.
