This case report details an extensive subtentorial subdural empyema originating from an ear, nose, and throat infection. Such extensive infratentorial empyema has not been previously documented.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Subtentorial subdural empyema is a rare but serious intracranial infection.
  • Infratentorial intracranial suppurations account for 3%-6% of all cases.
  • Otorhinological infections are a potential source for central nervous system complications.

Observation:

  • A case of extensive, multiloculated subtentorial subdural empyema is presented.
  • The empyema originated from an infection of the ear, nose, or throat (otorhinological origin).
  • This represents a rare presentation of infratentorial empyema.

Findings:

  • The patient developed a large subdural empyema in the subtentorial space.
  • The empyema was characterized by multiple loculations.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The source of infection was identified as an otorhinological condition.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for severe intracranial infections from common otorhinological conditions.
    • Emphasizes the need for vigilance in diagnosing and managing infratentorial empyema.
    • Contributes to the literature by documenting a previously unreported extensive form of subtentorial subdural empyema.
