Resumen

Presentamos un caso de sinusitis frontal complicada con empiema subdural, en la que el microorganismo identificado fue Gemella morbillorum, un comensal de la vía aerodigestiva que en ocasiones se asocia con infecciones fulminantes. El caso fue resuelto con éxito mediante cirugía endoscópica nasal y abordaje externo del seno, complementado posteriormente con drenaje subdural mediante craniectomía. El empiema subdural es una infrecuente pero muy grave complicación de la sinusitis. Mediante este trabajo hacemos énfasis en la importancia de la detección precoz de las complicaciones craneales, la necesidad de un estudio microbiológico detallado, el método utilizado para obtención de las muestras, y la conveniencia de un abordaje combinado ORL y neuroquirúrgico para su completo drenaje.

Abstract

We present a case of frontal sinusitis complicated with a subdural empyema, in which the identified microorganism was Gemella morbillorum, a frequent host of the aerodigestive tract and occasionally related to infections.The problem was resolved succesfully using endoscopic surgery and an external approach of the sinus. Afterwards it was completed with a subdural drainage through craniotomy. Subdural empyema is a rare complication of sinusitis although very severe. We want to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis of intracranial complications, the need of a detailed microbiology test the method used to obtain samples, and the convenience of a combined approach by the otolaryngologists and the neurosurgeons for its complete drainage.

Key words:
Subdural empyema
