Overview
Rare disorder accounting for 15-25% of focal CNS infections. It usually occurs in infancy and young adults (70% cases occurring in the second and third decades of life), 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. [1][2], however sinusitis is the most common predisposing condition, typically involving the frontal air sinus alone or concomitantly with ethmoid and maxillary sinuses.
