is an oral commensal organism belonging to the group (SAG). causes periodontitis as well as invasive, pyogenic infection of the central nervous system, pleural space or liver. Compared with other SAG organisms, has a higher mortality as well as a predilection for intracranial infection, suggesting it is likely to possess virulence factors that mediate specific interactions with the host resulting in bacteria reaching the brain.

Complications of cholesteatoma result from characteristic inflammatory and resorptive processes that erode the structures of the middle and inner ear with potential to spread locally. Common intratemporal complications include hearing loss, facial nerve palsy, labyrinthine fistula, and dysgeusia. Extratemporal complications, though less common, may be life-threatening, and include cerebrospinal fluid leak and encephalocele, meningitis, epidural and intraparenchymal abscesses, subdural empyema, and otic hydrocephalus.

With the increase in autism diagnoses in recent years due to improved public and clinical awareness, the association between autism and mental health has emerged as an important issue for patients and their caregivers. Although many with autism spectrum disorder also have coexisting mental health conditions, there exist differences in the presentation and etiology of these symptoms. This case report explains an interaction with a 17-year-old adolescent autistic male with a history of mild depression who was found non-responsive in the shower at home.

Objective: Sinogenic intracranial infections in children, such as subdural empyema or intracranial abscess, are a rare disease process with significant associated morbidity. Recent literature has suggested that there may have been an increase in frequency of these infections following the COVID-19 pandemic, but the literature has been conflicting, perhaps related to the heterogenous management of COVID-19 lockdowns in various states and differences in data capture between methods. The collection of statewide Australian data overcomes these limitations by capturing a comprehensive sample though the public healthcare system of patients who were subject to a homogeneous statewide approach to public health policy during the COVID-19 pandemic (population 5.

Background: Subdural empyema is an extremely rare and fatal intracranial complication of chronic otitis media. Due to its rarity and vague symptoms, it is often diagnosed late if not completely missed; specially in developing countries where the diagnostic modalities are hardly available or accessible. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is a preliminary reported case of subdural empyema as a complication of chronic otitis media in Eritrea.

Objective: Intracranial complications of acute bacterial sinusitis are rare pathologies that occur in children, and are associated with significant neurological morbidity and mortality. There is a subjective concern among neurosurgeons that the incidence of this rare disease has increased since the onset of the novel COVID-19 pandemic. The primary objective of this study was to review the presentation and management of patients admitted at the authors' institution with intracranial extension of sinusitis, to better understand the local disease burden relative to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Neurobrucellosis is a rare complication of brucella infection which presents as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, subdural empyema, brain abscess, myelitis, and radiculo- neuritis. We report the first case of neurobrucellosis presenting as an infected cerebellopontine cistern epidermoid cyst in a young immunocompetent male who presented with fever and acute raised intracranial pressure. MRI brain showed an extra-axial mass in the right cerebellopontine angle cistern with peripheral rim enhancement and diffusion restriction.
