Giant Subdural Abscess After Head Trauma

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Infected subdural hematoma caused by hematogenous bacterial seeding is a rare entity that is difficult to distinguish from hemorrhagic progression on CT. Clinicians should consider secondary infection of subdural collections in patients with bacteremia and pursue prompt drainage when unexplained enlargement is observed.
