Abstract
The death rate of brain abscesses in a recently reported series is high, ranging from 36% to 50% of all cases. This paper reports experiences with ten cases of intracranial abscesses secondary to ear and sinus infections. Six of these abscesses are secondary to otitic infections with three of them located in the cerebellum. Two of the cerebellar abscesses are surgically drained through the temporal bone by the otologic surgeon, with close neurosurgical cooperation.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
