While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is preferred for its detailed visualisation, it is costly and time\u2010consuming. Transcranial sonography offers a rapid, portable and cost\u2010effective alternative for assessing brain lesions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We present a case study involving the diagnosis and management of an intracranial epidural abscess in a 25\u2010year\u2010old man with a traumatic brain injury who underwent a craniectomy and later developed fever and drowsiness in the intensive care unit.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Using transcranial point\u2010of\u2010care ultrasound, a hypoechoic collection was identified at the surgical site, prompting further imaging with computed tomography (CT) and MRI, which confirmed the diagnosis of an epidural abscess. Prompt surgical intervention led to the resolution of symptoms and a favourable clinical outcome.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n This case highlights the potential utility of brain sonography as an efficient and cost\u2010effective initial diagnostic tool for detecting intracranial complications, particularly in postoperative patients with altered sensorium and fever, where timely intervention is crucial.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajum.12400","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]],"date-time":"2024-06-25T05:44:37Z","timestamp":1719294277000},"page":"259-262","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Diagnostic role of sonography in early detection and surgical intervention of an epidural abscess: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8231-1528","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Issac","family":"Cheong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Critical Care Medicine Sanatorio De los Arcos Buenos Aires C1424FSD Argentina"},{"name":"Argentinian Critical Care Ultrasonography Association (ASARUC) Buenos Aires C1424FSD Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francisco Marcelo","family":"Tamagnone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Argentinian Critical Care Ultrasonography Association (ASARUC) Buenos Aires C1424FSD Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","volume-title":"StatPearls [Internet]","author":"Fern\u00e1ndez\u2010de Thomas RJ","year":"2024"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr.73.876.11205681"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/sono.12392"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jon.12756"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nic.2012.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1308\/rcsann.2019.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","first-page":"301","article-title":"Transcranial sonography used as a valuable diagnostic tool for detecting a Hemoventricle, in an intensive care unit patient","author":"Cheong I","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Diagnostic Med Sonogr"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcu.23218"}],"container-title":["Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ajum.12400","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/ajum.12400","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ajum.12400","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,13]],"date-time":"2026-03-13T03:01:45Z","timestamp":1773370905000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ajum.12400"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ajum.12400"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ajum.12400","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1836-6864","2205-0140"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1836-6864","type":"print"},{"value":"2205-0140","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-06-25","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
