“…A similar approach has been used to successfully treat intracranial abscesses in horses. 3,10 In the case described in the present report, antimicrobial treatment alone was inadequate, as evidenced by the deterioration in clinical condition during treatment with ceftiofur. The fusiform bacteria isolated from the abscess were susceptible to cephalosporins, so ceftiofur should have been a suitable antimicrobial.…”

“…Adult horses with cerebral abscesses demonstrated depression, blindness, ataxia, and decreased facial sensation and head tilt. 6,8,35 Diffuse meningitis, or multifocal infection, leads to more generalized signs of ataxia and depression perhaps including cranial nerve signs. Papilledema may be present due to increased intracranial pressure.…”

“…The diagnosis of brain abscesses by CT examination in living horses has been described and was used to guide therapy. 8,43,44 MRI of intracranial abscessation of horses has been described and appears to be a very useful diagnostic aid. 45,46 Nuclear scintigraphy using labeled autologous WBCs can also be attempted and may provide definitive evidence (Figure 14.2).…”
