Abstract
- Intracranial subdural empyema is a relatively uncommon complication of paranasal sinusitis and otitic infection. It manifests itself by headache, neck stiffness and pyrexia, symptoms and signs of acutely increased intracranial pressure, convulsions, aphasia and other focal neurological signs. Recently, we have operated upon two cases of intracranial subdural empyema secondary to acute frontal sinusitis and traumatic scalp laceration respectively. Reviewing these two cases and other literatures, we are going to describe about causes, symptoms and signs, and methods of diagnosis and treatment of subdural empyema.
