    Author: Zderkiewicz E, Czochra M, Koźniewska H, Slezak M, Gawlik G.
    Journal: Neurol Neurochir Pol; 1979; 13(1):59-64. PubMed ID: 424052.
    Abstract:
    In the light of own experience with 50 patients with brain abscesses and a survey of the literature the authors discuss the values of the surgical methods of treatment in this disease. When the radical methods are used the mortality is lowest and the incidence of recurrent abscesses is lowest, but of this treatment is likely to produce considerable neurological deficit it is better to apply conservative methods, such as puncture and drainage of the abscess. The sparing operation as a method of choice may be the first stage of treatment before radical operation in acute abscess and in patients in serious clinical condition.
