摘要
Pneumocephalus and empyema in the subarachnoid space secondary to spinal-epidural anesthesia are very rare and have not previously been reported, to our knowledge. Here, we describe the imaging features of an older woman presenting with pneumocephalus plus subarachnoid and intraventricular empyema due to Staphylococcus epidermidis infection after spinal-epidural anesthesia, with the aim of raising awareness regarding this serious complication.
