Abstract

|
Brain abscess is a common bacterial infection of the central nervous system. Previously, the most common source of brain abscess is from the otorrhinologic infection, the hematogenous spread of infection from a distant site to the central ner vous system is increased(Alvord & Shaw, 1977; Zimmerman & Weingerten, 1991). Since intact brain parenchyma is usually resistant to inecton, focal areas of ischemia or necrosis are a prequisite to invasion by pathogenic microorganisms(Patric & Kaplan, 1988). There have been a few reports about the stroke lesions changed into brain abscess(Chen et al, 1995; Scully et al. 1991). We report serial brain images with the clinical observations in a patient with a transformation of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage into brain abscess.
