Subdural empyema
Updates to Case Attributes
These imaging appearances are highly suggestive of extensive subdural empyema along the left cerebral hemisphere.
Subdural empyemas are uncommon extra-axial lesions, accounting for 20-33% of intracranial infection. Major cases occur in the setting of the sinusitis, it. It has a fulminant clinical finding and requires prompt diagnosis and emergency neurosurgical intervention.
Less It less commonly occuroccurs in the setting of post-traumatic hematomahaematoma due to secondary infection or post-surgical infection which has a long clinical course.

Updates to Study Attributes
There is a largeLarge subdural collection along the left fronto-parietofrontoparietal-occipital lobes region which is low inon T1 and high in T2 and showing peripheral enhancement associated with adjacent dural and leptomeningeal enhancement inon post contrast-contrast T1 weighted image as well as a restriction pattern inon DWI and corresponding ADC map sequences.
The collection is causing mass effect over the left cerebral hemisphere.
Interpretation:
This imaging appearance is suggestive of extensive subdural empyema along the left cerebral hemisphere.
