    Stereotactic aspiration with external drainage offers a safe and effective method for managing brain abscesses. This minimally invasive technique resulted in high success rates and excellent patient prognoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Background:

    • Brain abscesses require effective management to prevent neurological deficits.
    • Stereotactic techniques offer precision in accessing intracranial lesions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic aspiration with external drainage for brain abscesses.
    • To assess patient outcomes and prognoses following this minimally invasive approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Stereotactic aspiration of brain abscesses was performed in 14 patients.
    • External drainage was maintained for an average of 14.5 days post-aspiration.
    • The procedure involved 15 abscesses across the 14 patients.

    Main Results:

    • Successful aspiration was achieved in all 15 abscesses.

  • No intraoperative complications (bleeding) or during external drainage (infection) were reported.
  • Excellent prognosis was observed in 71.4% of patients, with a good outcome in 21.4%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Stereotactic aspiration with external drainage is a safe and effective treatment for brain abscesses.
    • The procedure demonstrates a high success rate and favorable patient outcomes.
    • This method provides satisfactory results compared to existing literature.
