Intracranial dural empyema is a serious neurosurgical condition. Prompt diagnosis using advanced imaging like CT and MRI is crucial to reduce complications and improve patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Intracranial dural empyema presents a critical neurosurgical emergency.
  • Delayed diagnosis significantly worsens patient prognosis and increases complication risks.
  • While advanced imaging aids diagnosis, subtle early signs on unenhanced CT can cause delays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the radiological manifestations of intracranial dural empyema.
  • To highlight common complications associated with this condition.
  • To identify potential diagnostic pitfalls in radiological interpretation.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation.
  • Review of radiological findings from contrast-enhanced CT and MRI.
  • Analysis of diagnostic challenges and delays.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of diverse radiological signs of dural empyema.
  • Identification of complications such as abscess formation and venous sinus thrombosis.
  • Examples of subtle early signs and interpretation errors on imaging.

Conclusions:

  • Early and accurate radiological diagnosis is vital for managing intracranial dural empyema.
  • Contrast-enhanced CT and MRI are essential for timely detection.
  • Awareness of potential diagnostic pitfalls can improve patient care.
