    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Interhemispheric subdural empyema is a rare intracranial infection presenting with increased ICP and focal seizures. Surgical drainage via burr hole or excision led to complete recovery in all six young patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Interhemispheric subdural empyema is an uncommon and potentially severe intracranial infection.
    • This condition can arise from various infectious sources and primarily affects younger individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on six cases of interhemispheric subdural empyema.
    • To describe the characteristic clinical symptoms and diagnostic imaging findings.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment and patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting on six patients under 24 years old.
    • Clinical presentation, including intracranial infection, increased intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral falx syndrome, and focal seizures, was documented.
    • Diagnostic imaging utilized included angiography and computed tomography (CT) scans.

  • Surgical interventions involved continuous drainage via cranial burr hole or abscess excision.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients presented with characteristic symptoms of intracranial infection, elevated ICP, cerebral falx syndrome, and focal seizures.
    • Angiography and CT scans accurately localized the subdural empyema lesions.
    • All six patients underwent successful surgical treatment.
    • No recurrence of the empyema was observed post-treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Interhemispheric subdural empyema, though rare, is manageable with prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention.
    • Accurate localization using imaging modalities is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Surgical drainage or excision offers a high success rate with no recurrence.
