The radiological findings of the patient. Axial CT showed slightly broadened subdual space (black arrows) (a). Brain MRI demonstrated a collection of empyema along right falx cerebri and cerebellar tentorium with hyperintense on T2-weighted images (b and c) and restricted diffusion (d). T1-weighted with gadolinium MRI showed enhancement connecting from ethmoidal sinus to the bottom of frontal lobe (e) as well as enhanced dura mater involving cerebral falx and bilateral tentorium of cerebellum (white arrows) (f).
