Historical Perspective
- In 1869, subdural empyema was first operated on by François Gigot de la Peyronie[1]
- In 1939, the first attempted detailed description of the disease was by Cyril Brian Courville, who additionally referred to the disease as subdural abscess, pachymeningitis interna, purulent pachymeningitis, and circumscript meningitis[2]
- Historically, treatment was surgical, contrary to the present antimicrobial approach. Before the discovery of antibiotics, the mortality rate of patients with subdural empyema was near 100%, however the development of antimicrobial therapies have dramatically decreased the estimate to between 6-35%.[2]
