    Summary

    Effective treatment for intracranial abscesses involves prompt pus aspiration and targeted antibiotics. Surgical extirpation is crucial for chronic or foreign body-related abscesses to improve patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Intracranial abscesses present significant neurosurgical challenges.
    • Common sources include middle ear and paranasal sinus infections.

    Purpose:

    • To review treatment experiences and outcomes for 21 patients with intracranial abscesses.
    • To identify effective therapeutic strategies for intracranial suppuration.

    Summary:

    • Treatment involved trepanopuncture with pus aspiration and antibiotics guided by microbial sensitivity.
    • Six patients died; five from intracranial infection, one from pancreatic necrosis.
    • Survivors experienced sequelae including epilepsy and motor deficits.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates the efficacy of aspiration and antibiotics in managing intracranial abscesses.
    • Highlights the necessity of surgical extirpation for chronic or foreign body-associated abscesses.
    • Provides insights into patient outcomes and long-term neurological sequelae.
