Abstract
Acute subdural empyema is a surgical emergency. It is life threatening for the patient. It has to be evacuated as soon it is diagnosed. But subdural empyema in a COVID 19 patient is uncommon. Its management put the surgical team to a new dilemma. On one side the patient’s life was at risk and on the other side the whole surgical team might get infected.In this case report, we describe such a case which saved the patient’s life at same time many doctors, nurses and OT attendants became infected.
