Unlike an intraventricular rupture of a brain abscess, a primary intraventricular abscess is rare. While the former usually presents with acute clinical deterioration and carries a high rate of mortality, the latter tends to present in a subacute fashion. In this paper, we present a 62-year-old female with an intraventricular brain abscess. We discuss the pathogenesis of this clinical entity, describe the management options and review the literature on this topic.
与脑脓肿的脑室内破裂不同，原发性脑室内脓肿较为罕见。前者通常表现为急性临床恶化，死亡率较高，而后者则倾向于亚急性发病。本文报道了一例 62 岁女性脑室内脑脓肿患者。我们讨论了该临床实体的发病机制，描述了治疗选择，并对该主题的文献进行了回顾。
