Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2003
Subdural empyema represents loculated infection between the outermost layer of the meninges, the dura, and the arachnoid. The empyema may develop intracranially or in the spinal canal. Intracranial subdural empyema is most frequently a complication of sinusitis or, less frequently, otitis or neurosurgical procedures. Spinal subdural empyema is rare and

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1987
Subdural empyema is a neurosurgical emergency which is rapidly fatal if not recognized and managed promptly. Most series report a 30–40% mortality, and recommend a craniotomy along with aggressive medical therapy. Between 1978 and 1986, 8 children (2 months to 13 years) with subdural empyemas were diagnosed and treated at our institution, and form the ...

Eleven cases of subdural empyema in infants have been reviewed. The common presentation is one of increasing size of head, fever and fits. Papilloedema and localizing signs are rare and late. Asymmetrical suture diastasis is an important sign of unilateral empyema.

Surgical Neurology, 1981
A review of the literature reveals that most chronic subdural empyemas occur within four to six months of the initial insult. It appears that only 1 case of a chronic subdural empyema, which occurred four years after extensive facial trauma, has been described.

Giant calcified subdural empyemas
Surgical Neurology, 1994We report two cases of chronic calcified and ossified subdural empyema diagnosed during surgery and operated on successfully using an extraordinary large osteoplastic craniotomy. After surveying the literature, we must emphasize the unusual occurrence of the chronic subdural empyemas presenting with calcification-ossification and large size as observed

The subdural empyema is a severe inflammatory cerebral affection and shows some diagnostic and therapeutic problems. Extracerebral infections especially in the rhinogenous and otogenic region represent the most frequent cause of the subdural empyema. Seven cases, treated between 1982 and 1986 in our department, are the base to discuss the problems of ...

Infratentorial subdural empyema.
Turkish neurosurgery, 2009Infratentorial subdural empyema is a life-threatening rare complication of bacterial meningitis. Infratentorial subdural empyemas constitute only a small portion of all cases with intracranial infectious diseases. We present a 15-year-old boy with infratentorial subdural empyema.
