| description | Abstract
A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection that begins as a localized area of cerebritis and develops into a collection of pus surrounded by a well-vascularized capsule. The incidence of brain abscess varies from 1 to 2% of all intracranial space occupying lesions in developed countries to 8% in the developing countries. We reported a case of an 8-year-old girl who presented with gas-forming intracerebral abscess with parafalcine subdural empyema as a complication of bilateral chronic suppurative otitis media with coalescent mastoiditis and reviewed the literature. |
