Prevention Alternate Names Abscess - brain; Cerebral abscess; CNS abscess Definition A brain abscess is a mass of immune cells, pus, and other material that can occur when the brain is infected by bacteria or fungus. Causes and Risk Brain abscesses commonly occur when bacteria or fungi infect part of the brain. Inflammation develops in response. Infected brain cells, white blood cells, and live and dead microorganisms collect in a limited area of the brain. This area becomes enclosed by a membrane that forms around it and creates a mass. While this immune response can protect the brain by isolating the infection, it can also do more harm than good. The brain swells in response to the inflammation, and the mass may put pressure on delicate brain tissue. Infected material can block the blood vessels of the brain, further damaging tissues by causing cell death and swelling of additional cells. Multiple abcesses are uncommon except in immunocompromised patients. Infectious agents gain access to the brain in several ways. The most common way is through infected blood. Ear and sinus infections may also spread directly to the brain because of their close proximity.

uhrad.com - Neuroradiology Imaging Teaching Files Case Five - Cerebral Abscess Click on Images for Enlarged View Clinical History: 37-year-old female presents with a left parietal mass. Findings: CT scan was performed before and after the administration of IV contrast and reveals a left cerebral mass abutting the falx. There is in addition surrounding edema extending superiorly with slight midline shift to the right. Subsequent to the administration of contrast, a rim of enhancement is evident. Differential Diagnosis: Brain abscess, neoplasm, granuloma, cerebral infarct, resolving hematoma. Diagnosis: Cerebral abscess Discussion: Between (30% and 60%) of pyogenic abscesses are mixed infections, with aerobic isolates outnumbering anaerobic isolates approximately 2 to 1. Organisms include streptococci, staph aureus, and now more frequently gram negative bacilli. It is also important to note that the immune status of the patient can influence the organism causing the abscess. In neutropenic patients, brain abscesses may be caused by candida or aspergillus. In patients with abnormal cell mediated immunity, the causes may include toxoplasma gondii, mycobacterium, nocardia, cryptococcus, or listeria. There are four stages in the evolution of a brain abscess.

45. Cerebral Abscess As An Unusual Complication Of Coil Embolization cerebral abscess as an unusual complication of coil embolization ina dural arteriovenous fistula. Adnan Abd. Rahman Zurin, MD, MS http://www.c3.hu/~mavideg/jns/2-4-cp.html

Cerebral abscess as an unusual complication of coil embolization in a dural arteriovenous fistula Adnan Abd. Rahman Zurin, M.D., M.S., Satoshi Ushikoshi, M.D., Kiyohiro Houkin, M.D., Yoichi Kikuchi, M.D., Hiroshi Abe, M.D., and Hisatoshi Saitoh, M.D. Departments of Neurosurgery and Radiology, Hokkaido University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan; Azabu Neurosurgical Hospital, Sapporo, Japan; and Division of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia This 63-year-old man presented with a right temporoparietal cortical infarction. A dural arteriovenous fistula involving the right transverse sinus was diagnosed on cerebral angiography. Transvenous embolization using detachable coils was performed; however, postembolization angiograms demonstrated retrograde filling of a cortical draining vein that was not seen on initial angiography. The patient subsequently developed a cerebral abscess in the region of the previous cortical infarction 2 months after the embolization. The abscess was successfully treated with drainage and antibiotic therapy. The authors report this case to illustrate an unusual complication associated with this procedure and the possible contribution of the cortical draining vein in the pathogenesis of the cerebral abscess. Key Words * cerebral abscess * brain infarction * dural arteriovenous fistula * transvenous embolization Dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) comprise a nidus of arteriovenous shunting within the dura mater. In most cases this nidus is located near a dural sinus that may become narrowed or obstructed in the process of nidus formation.[1] Dural AVFs represent 10 to 15% of all intracranial vascular malformations. They usually occur in the region of the transverse, sigmoid, and cavernous sinuses but may be found in any dural structure.[2,3,13,16]

Causes and Risks A brain abscess is usually caused when bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci infect part of the brain. In response to the infection, there is inflammation and death of some of the tissues in the brain. Fluid, destroyed tissue cells, white blood cells, and live and dead microorganisms collect and form a mass. This mass usually becomes enclosed by a membrane that forms around it. The brain swells in response to the inflammation, and the mass may put pressure on the the brain. Infected material can block the blood vessels of the brain, further damaging brain tissues. The pressure within the brain rises, causing more damage and problems.

Denton Amazon base price: Used price: Buy one from zShops for: Average review score: For families and friends of brain trauma patients This book is a must have for patients and families of brain trauma. It clearly states symptoms and stages of the trauma. It tells you what to expect. It isn't a medical description but a patient to patient description in terms that anyone can comprehend. It is one excellent book. Thank you Gail Denton for writing this book. Recovery begins with understanding This book is a guide to sanity for those who have experienced mild brain injury, as I have. In the fall of 2000, I suffered an accidental fall and spent the following 15 months in a struggle to recover my 'real self". With the aid of this book, I am now fully functional again and able to cope with the minor relapses. I strongly recommend this book to those who suffer, their friends and caregivers. Brainlash reviewed by a head injury patient.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Brain, Abscess Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: intracranial infection, pyogenic infection, pyogenic bacterial infection, tuberculous infection, fungal infection, parasitic infection, brain infection, cerebritis, purulent brain infection, cerebral abscess, cerebral infection, bacterial brain infection, central nervous system infection, CNS infection, Nocardia asteroids, Toxoplasma encephalitis, Listeria monocytogenes Please click here to view the full topic text: Brain, Abscess Background: The introduction of infectious agents results in various responses from the central nervous system (CNS). In the earliest stage of purulent bacterial brain infection, the generalized initial reaction is cerebritis. Within the background of cellular response to the infection, cerebritis evolves into a localized abscess in a predictable series of stages. Neuroimaging of these stages reflects the underlying pathophysiology of abscess formation. Variations in the brain's reaction at different locations and similarities in the brain's reaction to certain agents and in the appearances of aggressive neoplasms all require correlation of medical history, neuroimaging, and results of microbiologic analysis. Pathophysiology: Most commonly, infectious agents gain access to the CNS by spread from a contiguous focus of infection, such as otitis media, mastoiditis, infection of the paranasal sinuses, or dental infection. Infection spreads hematogenously from an extracranial site, via trauma, directly to the CNS through retrograde thrombophlebitis, which may be preceded by empyema, meningitis, or both. Congenital or acquired dural dehiscence and dermal sinuses are less common causes.
