Subdural Empyema

  • Chapter
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery

Part of the book series: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ((NEUROSURGERY,volume 9))

Abstract

Subdural empyema (SDE) has always been an uncommon manifestation of intracranial sepsis; when it presents to neurosurgeons in its commonest, spontaneous form it is usually a rapidly advancing disease with a grave outlook. The condition is commonest in the young, and adequate surgery linked to medical care should be capable of producing morbidity free survival; provided that treatment is started sufficiently early and is correctly chosen.
