Subdural empyema (SDE) is a life-threatening infection, it accounts for about 15-22% of focal intracranial infections. It might be life threatening if not managed properly in infants and children. We report a case convulsions 14 mo-old infant who was admitted with a 1/52 history of body swelling, 3/7 history of fever, and 7105 with diagnosis of pyogenic meningitis. The cranial ultrasound scan (u/s) revealed bilateral subdural fluid collection, and features of cortical sulci thickening, sequelae of meningitis. She was put on IV antibiotics.
