Neurosurgery, 1985
The results of CT brain scan in diagnosing and monitoring the course of brain abscesses and the recognition of the major role that anaerobic bacteria play in causing this disease have led to a reduction in disease mortality and have allowed a greater percentage of infected patients to recover without major neurosurgical procedures.

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2013
A brain abscess is defined as a localized collection of pus within the parenchyma of the brain or meninges. Brain abscesses are a complication of ear, sinus, and/or dental infections. Although they may occur in many brain locations, the most common sites are frontal and temporal lobes.

Neurohospitalist, The, 2014 Significant advances in the diagnosis and management of bacterial brain abscess over the past several decades have improved the expected outcome of a disease once regarded as invariably fatal. Despite this, intraparenchymal abscess continues to present a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.

Seminars in Neurology, 2000
The epidemiology of brain abscess has changed with the increasing incidence of this infection in immunocompromised patients, particularly solid organ and bone marrow transplant recipients, and the decreasing incidence of brain abscess related to sinusitis and otitis.

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999
Optimal treatment of a brain abscess requires early clinical suspicion, and the diagnosis is usually made by identification of the abscess on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The immediate first step is to reduce the potentially life-threatening brain mass (abscess and surrounding cerebral edema) and ...

Surgical Neurology, 1981
A young woman with 12 separate brain abscesses was treated medically after aspiration of one abscess for diagnostic bacteriological examination. She made an excellent recovery with only minimal residual neurological dysfunction. Surgical aspiration for detailed bacteriological studies followed by appropriate antimicrobial therapy is an effective way of

Child's Nervous System, 1992
Brain abscesses are rare in infants and their clinical presentation is specific for this age group. Seven cases of brain abscess in infants aged 2-11 months are reported. The underlying cause was meningitis in four, sepsis in two, and unknown in one. Gram-negative organisms were cultured in 6 patients.

Child's Nervous System, 1986
During that last 6 years, 100 children have been treated for brain abscess at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore. Of these, 69 abscesses were otogenic. The treatment included aspiration of the abscess (84% of cases) and antibiotic therapy. CT scan as a diagnostic tool was available only for a few cases in the

The American Journal of Surgery, 1948
Antibiotic and chemotherapeutic procedures have tremendously reduced the incidence of brain abscesses and this therapy is indicated irrespective of surgical procedures instituted. This form of therapy in its prophylactic efforts has served in more than one experience to chronicize and deter diagnostic concepts.
