The course of frontal lobe cerebritis in a teenage boy was followed with serial radionuclide and CT scans. During treatment with high doses of dexamethasone and antibiotics, the radionuclide scans became normal, whereas the CT scans remained abnormal and ultimately demonstrated an encapsulated abscess that was successfully drained. In patients receiving steroid therapy, the radionuclide brain scan may not be a reliable technique in demonstrating an intracranial abscess.
通过连续的放射性核素和CT扫描对一名青少年男性的额叶脑炎病程进行了跟踪。在使用大剂量地塞米松和抗生素治疗期间，放射性核素扫描结果恢复正常，而CT扫描结果仍异常，最终显示为一个包膜性脓肿，并成功进行了引流。在接受类固醇治疗的患者中，放射性核素脑扫描在显示颅内脓肿方面可能不是一种可靠的技术。
