Overview
Subdural empyema may be classified according to location of the infection into 2 groups: intracranial and spinal.
Classification
Subdural empyema may be classified according to location of the infection into 2 groups: intracranial and spinal.[1][2]
Intracranial subdural empyema
Intracranial subdural empyema is the more common of the two groups, with 95% of subdural empyema patients presenting with this group.[1]
Spinal subdural empyema
Spinal subdural empyema is the less common of the two groups, with 5% of subdural empyema patients presenting with this group.[1]
