GONZALEZ-SALDANA, Napoleón  e  GOMEZ-TOSCANO, Valeria. Parameningeal infections: report of 2 cases associated with sinusitis. Acta pediatr. Méx [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.1, pp.32-37. ISSN 2395-8235.

Brain abscess and subdural empyema are serious and rare paramenin-geal infections. One case of brain abscess and another one of subdural empiema associated to sinusitis are presented. Both were treated with ceftriaxone, vancomycin and metronidazole (one of them also needed surgical drainage) and had satisfactory clinical outcome. An early diagnostic suspicion is important to provide timely treatment and thus improve prognosis in these patients.
