Abstract

Retrospective analysis of 25 pyogenic brain abcesses diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) revealed relatively specific morphologic characteristics of these infections. The ability to obtain an early accurate diagnosis resulted in a dramatic decrease in patient morbidity and mortality. Repeated examinations by CT permitted close monitoring of the response of the abscess to antibiotic therapy. In some instances the need for surgical intervention was eliminated or the surgical approach was modified as a result of these studies.

摘要

对25例经计算机断层扫描（CT）诊断的化脓性脑脓肿进行回顾性分析，发现了这些感染相对特异的形态学特征。能够早期准确诊断使得患者的发病率和死亡率显著降低。通过CT反复检查可以密切监测脓肿对抗生素治疗的反应。在某些情况下，这些研究结果使得无需进行手术干预或改变了手术方式。
