Amit Agrawal1, Lathika Shetty2, S. Teerthnath3, Bobby Varkey4
ABSTRACT
Chronic subdural haematomas are relatively benign lesions and subdural empyema is not a common complication of chronic subdural haematoma. We describe a case of chronic subdural haematoma associated with features of meningitis in a case of base of skull fracture and correlate the clinical, radiological and pathological findings.
