    Interhemispheric subdural abscesses are rare but critical intracranial infections. Early diagnosis using cerebral angiography is vital for prompt surgical intervention and improved patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Subdural abscesses are common intracranial infections.
    • Interhemispheric subdural abscesses, confined to the space between cerebral hemispheres, are rare.
    • Accurate localization is crucial for effective treatment.

    Observation:

    • A 20-year-old female presented with coma, hemiparesis, and bilateral papilledema.
    • Cerebral angiography revealed midline shift, indicating a mass effect.
    • Autopsy confirmed an interhemispheric subdural abscess with associated dural sinus thrombophlebitis.

    Findings:

    • The subdural abscess was extensive, from frontal to occipital poles, adhering to the falx.
    • Despite surgical drainage, the patient succumbed to the infection.

  • Superior sagittal sinus thrombophlebitis was identified as a potential cause.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of rare interhemispheric subdural abscesses.
    • Cerebral angiography is essential for identifying this specific location.
    • Prompt surgical intervention near the midline is critical for managing these infections.
