A rare interhemispheric subdural abscess was diagnosed in a boy after initial misdiagnosis. Prompt surgical drainage led to a satisfactory recovery, highlighting the importance of recognizing subtle clinical signs.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Infectious Diseases
Neurosurgery

Background:

Primary interhemispheric subdural abscess is a rare condition.
Early diagnosis can be challenging, often mimicking other neurological conditions like meningo-encephalitis.

Observation:

A 13-year-old boy presented with fever, disorientation, neck stiffness, and seizures.
Initial CT scans were normal, and CSF analysis suggested viral meningo-encephalitis.
The patient improved with medical management but relapsed with recurrent seizures.

Findings:

A subsequent CT scan revealed an interhemispheric subdural abscess.
Surgical drainage via craniotomy was performed.
The patient recovered well post-operatively.

Implications:

This case underscores the difficulty in diagnosing early-stage interhemispheric subdural abscesses.
Recognizing characteristic clinical features is crucial for timely surgical intervention.
Prompt surgical treatment can lead to favorable outcomes and prevent neurological deficits.
