[Current diagnostic methods of oto- and rhinogenous abscess of brain and cerebellum].

The paper discusses diagnosis of oto- and rhinogenic abscesses of the brain and cerebellum by means of echoencephalography (22 patients), computer tomography (17 patients), and radionuclide gamma-topography (7 patients). It is stressed that these methods have advantages over other techniques. They are informative and noninvasive; they can be applied regardless of the severity of disease; they allow accurate identification of the size and location of abscesses and differentiation between focal encephalitis and developed abscesses.
