title: Parafalxial empyemas (two cases).
abstract: Intracranial infections can locate at anywhere in the brain. Subdural empyemas are the less common type of intracranial infections, and parafalxial localization is seen rare. Findings of intracranial pressure increase developed in a cases who were treated for purulent meningitis. Parafalxial empyemas were diagnosed in succeeding cranial computed tomography. Middle line was drained by means of craniotomy or burrhole. We reported two cases who recovered without any postoperative sequel considered the rare localization site of infection.
