Abstract:
:Thirty-four cases of cerebellar abscess, diagnosed by computed tomographic (CT) scanning, were managed according to a standard protocol during a 4-year period. Triple high dosage intravenous antibiotics were used, open catheter drainage of the abscess was instituted, and external ventricular drainage was added if obvious hydrocephalus was present. Seventeen patients made a good recovery, and five remained minimally disabled. Ten patients died, and two were left severely disabled. A relationship between the level of consciousness on admission and final outcome was established. In addition, two particular CT scan features (viz. the presence of hydrocephalus and the stage of the abscess) were significant adverse prognostic factors.

NEUROSURGERY文献大全abstract::A surgical approach to the skull base is described. It allows excellent exposure of the cranial base with minimal brain retraction. Deep lesions can be handled via subfrontal, transsylvian, or subtemporal routes during the same operation. This approach is most suitable for large lesions in the suprasellar, parasellar,...
