Introduction: Empyema subdural is characterized by the accumulation of purulent secretion between the meninges, as a rule it is associated with the presence of infections contiguous to the brain or potentially disseminating face such as sinusitis. Objective: We report here a rare case of Empyema resulting from an infectious process of odontogenic origin. Case report: 17-year-old male, admitted by the Emergency Room of the Associação Beneficente Santa Casa de Campo Grande MS, with suspected bacterial meningitis referring to fever, headache and photophobia. Through a multidisciplinary evaluation involving the teams of Intensive Medicine, Hospital Dentistry and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology, it was possible to trace the origin of the infection and, in a joint approach with the Neurosurgery Team, proceed with the removal of the infectious foci.
