Computerized tomography and surgical treatment in intracranial suppuration. Report of 30 consecutive unselected cases of brain abscess and subdural empyema
J Neurosurg.
1977 Jul.
Abstract
The authors report their experience with 30 cases of intracranial suppuration: 23 with brain abscess and seven with subdural empyema. All of the cases were diagnosed by means of computerized tomography and enhancement with intravenous contrast material. Most of the patients were treated by single or repeated aspiration through burr holes.
