The subdural empyema is a severe inflammatory cerebral affection and shows some diagnostic and therapeutic problems. Extracerebral infections especially in the rhinogenous and otogenic region represent the most frequent cause of the subdural empyema. Seven cases, treated between 1982 and 1986 in our department, are the base to discuss the problems of symptomatology, differential diagnosis and therapy. The treatment of choice is a sudden craniotomy in combination with a through-drainage and administration of antibiotics.
