Abstract

Three cases of rhinogenic subdural abscesses are described, and the characteristic symptoms of the lesions summarized. Each presents a typical temporal sequence which is similar to that of frontal brain abscesses and permits differentiation of each into initial, latent and terminal stages. In collaboration with our neurosurgeon, a treatment was devised which included drilling two or more bore holes over the abscess area and irragating this site with an antibiotic solution. This technique provided favourable conditions for rhinosurgical operation as well as for complete healing.
