Resolution of a brainstem abscess through antituberculous therapy

J C García-Moncó et al. Neurology. 1997 Jul.

We describe an immunocompetent patient with a solitary brainstem abscess that responded to antituberculous therapy. Although prompt surgical therapy has been advocated, the possibility of medical resolution of brainstem tuberculous abscesses should be considered.
