What is Subdural effusions in association with acute bacterial meningitis are: and explain in detail?
Subdural effusions are a common complication of acute bacterial meningitis, occurring in 30-50% of cases. The exact pathogenesis is unknown, but the effusions are more frequent in young infants, usually sterile, and not related either to inadequate therapy or to a bleeding disorder. They are frequently asymptomatic and rarely fatal. Ref: Ropper A.H., Samuels M.A. (2009). Chapter 32. Infections of the Nervous System (Bacterial, Fungal, Spirochetal, Parasitic) and Sarcoidosis.
