A case of a solitary brain stem abscess in a 55-year-old man is presented. The computed tomographic scan and clinical picture allowed the presumptive diagnosis to be made. The abscess resolved completely after treatment with chloramphenicol, vancomycin, and ceftazidime administered intravenously. Medical therapy should be considered as an effective treatment of a brain stem abscess, provided the antibiotic therapy is administered under close clinical and computed tomographic monitoring.
本文报告了一例55岁男性孤立性脑干脓肿病例。计算机断层扫描和临床表现有助于做出初步诊断。经静脉注射氯霉素、万古霉素和头孢他啶治疗后,脓肿完全消退。如果在密切的临床和计算机断层扫描监测下进行抗生素治疗,药物治疗应被视为脑干脓肿的有效治疗方法。
