ABSTRACT: This retrospective study analyzes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of 201 patients with intracranial suppurations at Donka National Hospital in Guinea. The authors report a male predominance and identify otitis as the most common cause, with CT scans serving as the primary diagnostic tool. The study concludes that while surgical and antibiotic treatments are effective, the condition carries significant morbidity and mortality, necessitating early diagnosis.
