The Subdural Evacuating Port System is a new device intended to simplify the treatment of subacute/chronic subdural hematomas. The appearance of the winged canula positioned with its tip in the diploic space overlying the subdural space should allow the radiologist to identify it correctly. Its radiographic features are described here to help the radiologist comment on appropriate placement, an...

A 13 month old gir! with bilateral subdural empyema that was shown to be caused by Salmoneila paratyphi A is presented. Twenty-four cases of subdural empyema caused by Salmoneila species/strains are reported in literature. Subdural empyema that is caused by Salmoneila paratyphi A has not been deseribed previously. Treatment consists of surgical decompression by craniotomy and systemic antibioti...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relationship between enlarged subarachnoid spaces and subdural collections is poorly understood and creates challenges for clinicians investigating the etiology of subdural collections. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of subdural collections on cross sectional imaging in children with macrocephaly correlating with subarachnoid space enlargeme...

Remote intracranial hemorrhages after craniotomy or craniectomy may rarely develop. As the sparse literature on this phenomenon has focused on contralateral intraparenchymal and epidural clots, only seven cases of postoperative contralateral acute subdural hematomas have been reported in the literature. We presented two patients who developed contralateral acute subdural hematomas after surgica...
