“…Intracranial suppurations are neoformed purulent collections, including, in decreasing order of frequency, cerebral abscesses, subdural empyemas and extradural empyemas [3]. Their incidence is constantly below 1/100,000 inhabitants in developed countries and can be explained in part by the better management of otorhinolaryngologic and stomatologic infections of which they represented a possible complication [2]. Abscesses and empyema are more frequent in males with a sex ratio of about four men for every two men.…”

“…The abscess is an intracranial suppuration creating a neoformed cavity. This characteristic differentiates it from a subdural or extradural empyema, which is defined as intracranial suppuration developing in a pre-existing cavity [1,2].…”

“…In these countries the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of brain abscesses and empyema are well established and their prognosis has been improved thanks to a better knowledge of the microorganisms responsible and the development of antibiotics with good cerebral diffusion and a well-adapted spectrum, but also by the appearance of diagnostic tools that are less or not invasive (CT scan, stereotactic biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging [2][3][4]. Similarly, mortality, which was close to 100% at the beginning of the century, reflecting the ineffectiveness of the immune system in defending against this type of infection, is currently between 5 and 10% [2]. Neurological sequelae can affect between 30 and 50% of patients, especially those who have required resuscitation.…”

“…The nature of the causal agent varies according to the gateway. Thus, cerebral abscesses with an ear, nose and throat starting point are due to enterobacteria or Pseudomonas aeruzinosa [2]. Empyemas are caused by the same bacteria as abscesses with a polymicrobial flora composed mainly of staphylococcus [6].…”

Introduction: Brain abscess is an intracranial suppuration producing a newly formed cavity. Otorhinolaryngological infections are one of the main causes. We report a case of cerebral abscess and empyema complicating pansinusitis in an 11-year-old adolescent treated at the Mali Hospital. Observation: He was an 11-year-old adolescent with a history of chronic headache who was admitted for left hemiplegia. The onset dates back to around 15 days marked by an unquantified fever, headache and then coma. A brain scan performed during hospitalization revealed a brain abscess and empyema, hence its reference to the Mali Hospital. At the entrance he had a fever of 38.5 ° C and a poor general condition. He was aware, well oriented and consistent. He had flaccid left hemiplegia with preservation of peripheral sensitivity. Cardiorespiratory examination and oto-rhinolaryngological were normal. Surgical drainage associated with medical treatment including ceftriaxone 100 mg/kg/d direct intravenous for 15 days, gentamycin; 3 mg/kg/d intramuscular for 3 days, metronidazole : 10 mg/kg /12 hours intravenously slowly for 15 days, paracetamol: 15 mg/kg /6 hours intravenously slowly, glucose serum 10%: 100 ml/kg /day infused and red blood cell concentrate group O+: 20 ml/Kg intravenously slowly have been introduced. The relay was done with ciprofloxacin 10mg/Kg/12 hours for 6 weeks by oral route. The postoperative follow-up was simple. He was discharged on the 15th day of hospitalization. Conclusion: Intracranial complications of sinusitis are serious and common in children in developing countries. The brain scanner is an indispensable tool for its diagnosis. Management is multidisciplinary. Prophylaxis is based on the correct treatment of otorhinolaryngological and oral infections.

The Chair of Mental and Brain Diseases: Charcot’s Pupils – Benjamin Ball, Alix Joffroy and Gilbert Ballet

Benjamin Ball (1833-1893), Alix Joffroy (1844-1908) and Gilbert Ballet (1853-1916) were three pupils of the great Charcot (1825-1893). They were successive holders of the chair for mental illness and encephalon at its creation in 1877 until the First World War: Benjamin Ball from 1877 to 1893, Alix Joffroy from 1893 to 1908, and Gilbert Ballet from 1908 to 1916. After describing the context surrounding the creation of this chair and the choice of its representative and successors, we will examine their neurological work on the brain derived from a method influenced by a current of thought careful to list the symptoms of the disease and to look for the anatomical causes in the brain. The renowned 19th century French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot was a huge influence. With their acquired experience and progress in the fields of morphology and histology and cerebral cortex functioning, they greatly contributed to the evolution of neurological, clinical anatomical and psychological-physiological findings--thus allowing certain pathologies to be considered as organic diseases rather than neurotic symptoms--while all the time recognizing the importance of the cortical cell in mental illness.
