Infrequent case of cavum septi pellucidi empyema and principles of neurosurgical management: case report and literature review Rijetki slučaj empijema cavum septi pellucidi i principi neurokirurškog zbrinjavanja: prikaz slučaja s pregledom literature

Aim: To present a very rare case of empyema cavuma septi pellucidi. Case report: A 5-year-old male child was admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases Cantonal Hospital Zenica because of fever (38.30C), headache and vomiting. The patient developed intracranial hypertension as a result of a compressive purulent collection formed due to meningitis between the lamine of the septum pelucidum with consequent intracranial hypertension. Conclusion: The decision regarding the modality of treatment was not easy. We considered that empyema evacuation using the transcallosalinterhemispheric approach allows the complete removal of purulent collection and the placement of drainage, which allows additional emptying of the empyema cavity and prevents empyema recurrence. Empyema evacuation with drainage and antibiotic therapy have shown beneficial results.
