Description

A subdural infectious cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms in the subdural space of the brain, often due to an infection. These cysts can lead to increased intracranial pressure and neurological symptoms if not properly managed.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in various clinical settings, and it's important to maintain a formal register. Common variants that may arise include 'quiste subdural' or 'quiste cerebral', which should be avoided in formal contexts to prevent ambiguity.
