Evaluation of brain and epidural abscesses by computed tomography

T Lott, T el Gammal, R Dasilva, D Hanks and J Reynolds

CT scanning is invaluable in both the initial investigation of a brain abscess and assessment of its response to therapy. The CT scan showed a peripheral low-density crescent in one case of epidural abscess.
