| Popis: | We report a case of pneumococcal meningitis in an 8 weeks olf female infant followed by persistent subdural effusion successfully treated by repeated subdural taps. The initial delineation of the subdural effusion, the decrease in size and the disappearance of the fluid were demonstrated by direct subdural scintigraphy (D.S.S.). The literature of pneumococcal meningitis, its diagnosis, treatment and complications are reviewed, and it is suggested that direct subdural scintigraphy should be employed as a diagnostic aid in the evaluation and follow up of subdural effusions. |
