Textilloma Mimicking an Intracranial Postoperative Abscess
Background: Achieving haemostasis during surgical procedures within the brain is of paramount importance. Bipolar cauterization is most effectively used to occlude identifiable vessels but it has minimal efficacy in controlling the oozing bleeding that characterises most neurological pathologies. In such cases chemical haemostatic agents are often preferable to bipolar cautery. Rarely these che...
متن کاملIntracranial inflammatory pseudotumor mimicking malignant neoplasm.
Disclosure. The authors declare no conflicting interests, support or funding from any drug company. Figure 1-Contrast-enhanced MRI showed a lesion (arrow) hypointense to gray matter on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images with homogenous and avid contrast enhancement partially encasing the cerebral dura mater in the polus temporalis. I nflammatory pseudotumor is a non-neopl...
متن کاملIntracranial abscess complicating diverticulitis with CT scan mimicking primary glioma.
The case of a 64 year old woman with diverticulitis complicated by a metastatic cerebral abscess is reported. Presentation was atypical and investigations were misleading; the computed tomographic scan was interpreted as showing a glioma. This case demonstrates that malignancy should never be assumed and the importance of making a histological diagnosis. Once the abscess was drained the patient...
متن کاملForeign Body Reaction Mimicking Intracranial Abscess following the Use of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (SurgicelTM): Case Report and Literature Review
Background & Importance: The use of local hemostatic agents in neurosurgery is mandatory in order to control the sequelae of intracerebal hemorrhage. It is widely used in oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel™). Case Presentation: A 54-year-old man previously operated for grade II meningioma came back to our attention due to the onset of left side arm weakness one month afte...
متن کاملStreptococcus Pneumoniae Intracranial Abscess and Post-Infectious Vasculitis
Intracranial abscesses are rare complications of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, and to our knowledge, there have been no case reports of post-infectious vasculitis developing in such patients. Here we describe the case of a 48-year-old post-splenectomy male who developed post-infectious vasculitis following S. pneumoniae otitis media complicated by mastoiditis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, ...
