Disease relevance of Empyema, Subdural

• Computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of intracranial abscesses. Brain abscess, subdural empyema, and epidural empyema [1].
• Subdural empyema caused by Prevotella loescheii with reduced susceptibility to metronidazole [2].
• The CTT concentration in one patient with a brain abscess was 8.51 micrograms/ml, and the LMOX concentration in the one remaining patient with subdural empyema was 5.20 micrograms/ml [3].
• RESULTS: Cerebral abscess, tuberculoma, subdural empyema and epidural abscess were hyperintense on DWMRI [4].

High impact information on Empyema, Subdural

• Metastatic intracranial subdural empyema from renal cyst infection in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [5].
• The median duration of parenteral antibiotic treatment was 36, 41, 22, and 46 days in patients treated with excision, aspiration, evacuation of subdural empyema, and antibiotics alone, respectively [6].
• CASE REPORT: A case of supratentorial subdural empyema extending to the superior subdural cervical space in a 14-year-old patient with systemic lupus erythematosus is presented [7].
• Subdural empyema secondary to odontogenic masticator space abscess: detection by indium-111-labeled white cell scan [8].
• Imipenem was successfully used to treat a case of subdural empyema complicated by multiple cerebral abscesses, in which surgery and therapy with other antibiotics had previously failed [9].
