Gas‐containing brain abscess: Etiology, clinical characteristics, and outcome

Abstract: Gas-containing brain abscess remains a life-threatening disease that requires immediate diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. The aim of this study is to report on a series of gas-containing brain abscess and discuss its pathological mechanism and therapeutic consideration. This study included 11 patients with gas-containing brain abscess at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan during a 27-year period. The predisposing factors to infection included hematogenous spread in five patients, … Show more

“…Non-invasive imaging techniques allow both the spatial and temporal distribution of a molecular probe and related biological processes, providing meaningful numerical measures of biological phenomena. Some non-invasive imaging techniques are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Floeth, 2008), computed tomography (Su, 2014), ultrasound (Correa, 2004), positron emission tomography (PET) (Floeth, 2008) or optical imaging (fluorescence (Mehta, 2008) and bioluminescence (Vila, 2013)) (Figure 2.11). (Floeth, 2008).…”
