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.

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 ...

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.
