Subdural and epidural empyemas: MR imaging.
The MR images of six patients with extraaxial empyemas (five subdural and four epidural) were reviewed and compared with CT scans. MR demonstrated convexity and interhemispheric collections, which were mildly hyperintense relative to CSF and hypointense relative to white matter on short TR pulse sequences and hyperintense relative to CSF and white matter on long TR pulse sequences, allowing dis...
متن کاملManagement of subdural intracranial empyemas should not always require surgery.
Seven patients with subdural empyema were initially treated by antibiotics without surgery. Six have recovered without sequelae. One required delayed surgery and has recovered with epilepsy. The authors emphasise the use of CT for the diagnosis and follow-up of subdural empyema, the principles and modalities of non-surgical treatment, and the good results, especially for late morbidity.
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of Subdural and Epidural Empyemas
Materials & Methods We retrospectively reviewed diffusion-weighted images obtained from three patients with subdural empyema and three patients with epidural empyema. The patients included two men and four women ranging in age from 17 to 77 years. Their diagnosis was established surgically in three patients and made on the basis of clinical and imaging findings in another three patients. Diffus...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MR imaging of subdural empyemas in children.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Subdural empyema (SDE), an infection of the subdural space, occurs most often in pediatric patients as a complication of meningitis, sinusitis, or otitis media. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been used in the past to investigate intracerebral infections. The purpose of this study was to determine the signal intensity characteristics of SDE on DWIs as well as the cor...
متن کاملSpectrum of intracranial subdural empyemas in a series of 45 patients: current surgical options and outcome.
BACKGROUND The subject of subdural empyema (SDE) is reviewed on the basis of experience with 45 cases. METHODS Records of 45 patients with SDE were analyzed. There were 35 males and 10 females in the series. The majority of the patients were either infants (22.2%) or in their second and third decade of life (37.8%). For supratentorial SDE, craniotomy was done in 5 cases (11.1%). In six cases ...
