Health Information from:
Disease Injury ... Prevention Cerebral abscess Alternative names: Abscess - brain; Brain abscess; CNS abscess Definition: A space-occupying lesion in the brain caused by an inflammation and a collection of infected material (pus) within the brain tissue. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: When microorganisms (usually bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci) cause a localized infection in the brain, there is inflammation in response to the infection, with death ( necrosis ) of some of the tissues of the brain. Fluid, destroyed tissue cells, white blood cells, and live and dead microorganisms collect and form a mass. This mass usually becomes enclosed (encapsulated) by a lining (membrane) that forms at the edges of the fluid collection.
There is swelling (edema) within the brain in response to the inflammation, and the mass may put pressure on the structures of the brain. Infected material can occlude (block) the vessels of the brain, further damaging brain tissues. The pressure within the brain (intracranial) rises causing more extensive damage and dysfunction.
Cerebral abscess may be a complication of epidural abscess chronic ear infection chronic sinusitis , and mastoiditis are other initial sources of the infection that causes cerebral abscess. The infection may be caused by direct spread of the microorganisms through the bones of the skull and through the membranes covering the brain (meninges).

Disease Injury ... Prevention Cerebral abscess Alternative names: Abscess - brain; Brain abscess; CNS abscess Treatment: Cerebral abscess is a medical emergency! Intracranial pressure may become high enough to cause fatal brainstem herniation. Hospitalization is required until the condition is stabilized.
Life support (such as breathing and circulation assistance) may be required in some cases.
Medical management is advised for multiple abscesses , a small (less than 2 cm) abscess , an abscess deep within the brain, an abscess accompanied by meningitis , the presence of shunts in the brain (for hydrocephalus ), or an underlying disease that makes surgery dangerous (debilitating disease).
Antimicrobials are given, initially through a vein, then by mouth. Between 2 and 6 weeks of medication are usually required. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are the most common antimicrobial prescribed. Multiple medications may be used together. Antifungal medications (or antiviral medications) may also be prescribed if fungal or viral infection is likely.
Osmotic diuretics such as urea or mannitol are used to reduce swelling of the brain.If mannitol is used, then one should consider surgery to evacuate the lesion and reduce the mass effect.Corticosteroids such as dexamethasone also might be used to reduce brain swelling, but their use is very controversial.

Multiple cerebral abscess due to Actinomyces sp
ABSTRACT Bacterial infection due to Actinomyces usually affects the neck and the oral cavity, although infection to other organs has been described, including the central nervous system where it usually presents as a single brain abscess. We present the case of a 54 year old man who was admitted to the ABC Medical Center with multiple brain abscesses. The brain biopsy demonstrated Actinomyces . This clinical presentation of Actinomyces infection is very uncommon, only the third case in the world literature and the first in Mexico. The therapeutic regimen for this type of infection has not been defined. The excellent response to ceftriaxone could guide future therapeutic options.
Key words: Multiple brain abscess, actinomyces , ceftriaxone, lung tumor.

*For Medical Professionals only, registration required Abscess, cerebral, an abscess within the cerebrum. These are rare in normal children, most being a complication of sinus or mastoid disease, or penetrating trauma. Children with congenital heart disease and a left-to-right- shunt are at risk for the development of a brain abscess. The symptoms are those of headache and fever and, as neurological symptoms occur due to the pressure on surrounding structures, fits and signs of raised intracranial pressure. The location of the abscess within the brain dictates the signs and clinical presentation. Symptoms are often ameliorated by antibiotic therapy given for the treatment of fever of unknown origin so the lesion can be large at presentation. Once suspected, cross-sectional imaging by contrast enhanced CT is the most rapid way to the diagnosis ( Fig.1

Definition: A brain abscess is a lesion caused by inflammation and infected material (pus) within the brain tissue.
Alternative Names: Abscess - brain; Cerebral abscess; CNS abscess
Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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.
A brain abscess may result from other infections, such as an epidural abscess chronic ear infection chronic sinusitis , or mastoiditis . The infection may be caused by direct spread of the microorganisms through the bones of the skull and through the membranes covering the brain (meninges).
The infection may also spread through the blood vessels from distant locations in the body. Lung infections such as

http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/cache/510328871.htm
cerebral abscess Brain abscesses may occur within the cerebral hemispheres or within the cerebellum. Solitary abscesses are most often located in the temporal lobe or cerebellum; multiple abscesses occur most often in the cerebrum at the junction of the white and grey matter. Rarely, brain abscess arise rapidly; more commonly, their development is gradual with three phases recognisable:
  • invasion - headache, nausea, slight CSF changes latent - transient attacks of headache, malaise, etc. manifest - localising signs, CSF pressure effects
Diagnosis is from the history, and is confirmed by CT scan. Regard suspiciously any person with minimal symptoms and signs who have received antibiotics. Mortality may be high.

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.

Cerebral abscess
Causes and Risks:
When microorganisms (usually bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci) cause a localized infection in the brain, there is inflammation in response to the infection, with death ( necrosis ) of some of the tissues of the brain. Fluid, destroyed tissue cells, white blood cells, and live and dead microorganisms collect and form a mass. This mass usually becomes enclosed (encapsulated) by a lining (membrane) that forms at the edges of the fluid collection.
There is swelling within the brain in response to the inflammation, and the mass may put pressure on the structures of the brain. Infected material can close up (occlude) the vessels of the brain, further damaging brain tissues. The pressure within the brain (intracranial) rises causing more extensive damage and dysfunction.
Cerebral abscess may be a complication of epidural abscess Chronic ear infection chronic sinusitis , and mastoiditis are other initial sources of the infection that causes cerebral abscess. The infection may be caused by direct spread of the microorganisms through the bones of the skull and through the membranes covering the brain (meninges).
