Abstract

Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) are a common neurosurgical disease for which middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization is emerging as an attractive and efficacious endovascular treatment modality. We present the first known case of a Streptococcus intermedius epidural abscess that resulted following MMA embolization for a left-sided CSDH that required evacuation and washout through a craniotomy. Intracranial infections can be a potentially devastating complication from MMA embolization in this patient population.

用 nBCA 栓塞脑膜中动脉治疗慢性硬膜下血肿后出现硬膜外积液。

慢性硬膜下血肿（CSDH）是一种常见的神经外科疾病，脑膜中动脉（MMA）栓塞术正逐渐成为一种有吸引力且有效的血管内治疗方法。我们介绍了第一例已知的中间链球菌硬膜外脓肿病例，该病例是在对左侧 CSDH 进行脑膜中动脉栓塞治疗后引起的，需要通过开颅手术进行排空和冲洗。颅内感染可能是该类患者进行 MMA 栓塞术后的一种潜在破坏性并发症。

期刊介绍： The British Journal of Neurosurgery is a leading international forum for debate in the field of neurosurgery, publishing original peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality, along with comment and correspondence on all topics of current interest to neurosurgeons worldwide. Coverage includes all aspects of case assessment and surgical practice, as well as wide-ranging research, with an emphasis on clinical rather than experimental material. Special emphasis is placed on postgraduate education with review articles on basic neurosciences and on the theory behind advances in techniques, investigation and clinical management. All papers are submitted to rigorous and independent peer-review, ensuring the journal’s wide citation and its appearance in the major abstracting and indexing services.
