Minor damage to the scalp may lead to intracranial infection. Moreover, the postoperative state of the scalp, skull and meninges is especially noteworthy with respect to invasion of pathogens into the skull. Therefore, a detailed medical history should be obtained from patients with even minor scalp injuries to avoid intracranial infection. We herein report a case of intracranial infection caused by a minor scalp injury associated with previous craniotomy, which was missed at first.
头皮的轻微损伤可能导致颅内感染。此外，就病原体侵入颅骨而言，头皮、颅骨和脑膜的术后状态尤其值得关注。因此，对于即使是轻微头皮损伤的患者也应详细询问病史，以避免颅内感染。我们在此报告一例因既往开颅手术相关的轻微头皮损伤导致的颅内感染病例，该病例最初被漏诊。
