Intracranial calcifications are relatively common computed tomographic findings in the field of neurosurgery, and cysticercosis, tuberculosis, HIV, and cryptococcus are acquired intracranial infections typically associated with calcifications. However, intracranial calcification caused by a bacterial brain abscess is rare. Here, we present a rare case of intracranial calcification caused by a b...
The computed tomography (CT) scans of 60 patients with intracranial infection have been reviewed. Computed tomography, particularly if used with contrast enhancement, is a valuable adjunct to the investigation of patients with suspected intracranial abscess. The false negative rate is 1%, but despite this, mortality from intracranial abscess remains unchanged.
Otogenic intracranial infections usually require both neurosurgical and otolaryngological surgery. This prospective, non-randomized study investigated the value of combining both surgical procedures. Thirteen patients with otogenic intracranial abscess were treated by mastoidectomy and abscess removal through the same incision between 1993 and 2002. Another 12 patients underwent abscess removal...
introduction: brain abscess in pregnancy is very rare, which mostly progresses to neurological abnormalities. case presentation: the patient is a 24-year-old pregnant woman. she was referred to saitama hospital due to severe headache and nausea on october 2008. brain mri detected a 1.5 cm abscess mass with extensive edema in the right frontal lobe. we performed intensive therapy using some anti...
Invasive intracranial aspergillosis is a rare disease with high morbidity and mortality that occurs most commonly in immunosuppressed patients. However, intracranial Aspergillus infections have also been reported in immunocompetent hosts after brain trauma or neurosurgery. Neurosurgical intervention combined with aggressive antifungal treatment is effective in treating cerebral aspergillus gran...
Twenty-nine patients with chronic suppurative otitis media with intracranial complications are reviewed. The complications occurred predominantly in young patients with a mean age of 17 years. The most common complication was brain abscess (n = 20). The others were meningitis (n = 3), subdural abscess (n = 3), perisinus abscess (n = 2) and otitic intracranial hypertension (n = 1). The common pa...
Pyogenic liver abscess in Taiwan is most commonly due to Klebsiella pneumoniae infection in diabetic patients, and less frequently due to biliary tract infections. Liver abscess caused by ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is very rare. We report a case of liver abscess caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which developed as a complication of an infected VP shunt. A 53-yea...
BACKGROUND Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most common causative bacteria of neonatal meningitis, but hematogenous intracranial E. coli infection is rare in adults. Moreover, intracranial abscess formation owing to E. coli, including brain abscesses and subdural empyema formation, is extremely rare. We herein present a case involving a patient with a brain abscess owing to E. coli following a...
