  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Even in the antibiotic era, the motality rate of brain abscess is still moderately high. In addition it is believed that brain abscess without manifesta-tions of inflammation has been more frequently encountered.

In this survey, based upon 33 patients with in-traparenchymatous abscess treated in the Neuro-surgical Service of Kyoto University Hospital from 1950 to Jun. 1967, we have intended to clarify the clinical features of brain abscess which have been seen after the introduction of antibiotics, and to dis-cuss some aspects of surgical treatments. From these analyses, following conclusions have been obtained.

( 1 ) Even with profuse use of antibiotics, gen-eral signs of inflammation such as fever and/or leucocytosis have been observed in 80% of brain abscess, especially in the age group under 40. Pleocytosis, elevated pressure and/or increased protein content of CSF have been shown in 80% of the cases.

( 2 ) Cerebral angiography has been the most useful diagnostic procedure. It reveals the exact localization of intracranial mass, as well as some characteristic features of brain abscess. Remarkable displacement of vessels, avascularity corresponding to the mass, and ring-like shell of hypervascularity have been mentioned as the characteristic angio-graphic findings of brain abscess.

( 3 ) Isotopic brain scanning and EEG have been useful as screening tests for brain abscess.

( 4 ) Early surgical intervention with complete extracapsular removal of brain abscess has been re-commended as the first choice for complete cure in this disorder.
