Abstract
Most brain abscesses have a characteristic but nonspecific appearance on computed tomography (CT), consisting of a ring configuration of the abscess capsule which shows marked enhancement after injection of contrast material. CT scanning is invaluable in the initial investigation of a brain abscess and assessment of its response to therapy. The CT scan showed a peripheral low-density crescent in 1 case of epidural abscess.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
