Popis: The authors reviewed 39 cases of extracerebral empyemas with emphasis on clinical and radiological findings. Extracerebral empyemas represent a small percentage of intracranial infections. The erstwhile poor prognosis has been inproved by: (1) early radiological diagnosis with CT and/or MRI; (2) radiological follow-up and early detection of complications such as thrombophlebitis; (3) modifications of surgical treatment and progress of antimicrobial-therapy.
