  • Title: Computed tomography as a guide in the diagnosis and follow-up of brain abscesses.
    Author: Whelan MA, Hilal SK.
    Journal: Radiology; 1980 Jun; 135(3):663-71. PubMed ID: 7384453.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis and follow-up of 20 cases of intracranial abscess are analyzed, with particular attention to the role of computed tomography (CT). the differential diagnosis of the CT appearance is presented, and the value of clinical and laboratory findings is discussed. Of special interest is the potential effect of steroids on CT findings as well as the frequent observation of a residual enhancing focus seen on the scan obtained at hospital discharge.
