Value of computed tomography in the diagnosis of intracranial abscess
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
|March 1, 1977
Abstract:
The computed tomography (CT) scans of 60 patients with intracranial infection have been reviewed. Computed tomography, particularly if used with contrast enhancement, is a valuable adjunct to the investigation of patients with suspected intracranial abscess. The false negative rate is 1%, but despite this, mortality from intracranial abscess remains unchanged.
