Subdural empyema of the brain is an uncommon disorder that occurs more frequently in children than in adult. Authors report a very rare of subdural empyema following the subdural hygroma after mild head injury. The exact mechanism of infection is not known. However, we have to consider subdural infection as one of differential diagnosis in elderly patient with subdural hygroma when new abnormal density lesion is developed in the subdural space.
脑硬膜下积脓是一种不常见的疾病,在儿童中比在成人中更常发生。作者报告了1例轻度头部损伤后硬膜下积液继发硬膜下积脓的罕见病例。感染的确切机制尚不清楚。然而,当硬膜下间隙出现新的异常密度病变时,我们必须将硬膜下感染作为老年硬膜下积液患者的鉴别诊断之一。
