    Author: Debroise A, Bosdure E, Bresson V, Scavarda D, Halbert C, Drancourt M, Chabrol B.
    Journal: Arch Pediatr; 2012 Jul; 19(7):736-40. PubMed ID: 22673736.
    Abstract:
    Postmeningitis subdural empyema is rare in infants. It can have a severe clinical course with possible serious long-term consequences and 10% mortality. Diagnosis is often difficult. Postmeningitis subdural empyema must be discussed in cases of atypical progression of well-treated meningitis. We report the case of an 18-month-old infant presenting subdural empyema with an insidious course following Neisseria meningitidis group C meningitis.
