Overview
It usually occurs in infancy and young adults, being more frequent in men than women. It develops in 39-60% of the cases of pyogenic meningitis, but only in 1-2% of the cases of bacterial meningitis and constitutes 15-22% of focal intracranial infections. [1][2]. It develops in 39-60% of the cases of pyogenic meningitis, but only in 1-2% of the cases of bacterial meningitis.[3]
