Subdural empyema is a fulminating, purulent bacterial infection located between the dura and arachnoid membrane. It is a neurosurgical emergency and the mortality of which continues to be as high as 40% in mordern reported series. Early diagnosis, adequate antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment play important roles in the successful management of subdural empyema.
