Abstract:
Intracerebral abscess is an uncommon complication of severe cystic fibrosis lung disease. The present report describes a case of fatal multiple intracerebral abscesses in a patient with a severely bronchiectatic, nonfunctioning right lung and chronic low-grade infection. The patient was previously turned down for pneumonectomy. Intracerebral abscess in cystic fibrosis and the potential role of pneumonectomy in the present patient are discussed.

Abstract:
Despite improvements in antibiotic therapies and surgical techniques, sinusitis still carries a risk of serious and potentially fatal complications. We examined the charts of 82 patients who had been admitted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center between Jan. 1, 1985, and Dec. 31, 1999, for treatment of complications of sinusitis. Of these 82 patients, 43 had orbital complications and 39 had intracranial complications. In this article, we describe our findings in those patients who had intracranial complications (our findings in patients with orbital complications will be reported in

Abstract:
Background: Brain abscesses are intracerebral infections with pus accumulation that can be fatal in most cases without appropriate treatment. The most common cause of brain abscesses are infections with streptococci and staphylococci. Streptococcus anginosus is a group of streptococci that are part of the normal flora of the oropharynx and are rarely the cause of severe bacterial infections. Case Report: Our patient is a 64-year-old man who underwent a dental procedure, and presented a few days later with a high-grade fever and decreased level of consciousness. He was found to have multiple br

Abstract:
✓ Mucormycosis refers to a group of rapidly progressive infections caused by fungi belonging to the order Mucorales. Infection most often develops in individuals with immunological or metabolic compromise, although patients without underlying abnormalities have been affected. Specific clinical manifestations are associated with various predisposing factors. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is the most common form and most frequently develops in individuals with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. The extent of anatomical involvement and clinical course are unpredictable, depending on the intrinsic

Abstract:
Introduction and importance: Infective endocarditis (IE) primarily affects the endocardium of heart valves. Neurologic manifestations include strokes, intracerebral hemorrhages, meningitis, cerebral and spinal abscess, and mycotic aneurysms. Although rare, meningitis is a potentially life-threatening complication of IE, so physicians should be aware of this rare and fatal complication of IE. Case presentation: Here, the authors present a case of a 53-year-old male who presented with bacterial meningitis secondary to IE. His blood culture was positive for methicillin-sensitive staphylococcal au

Abstract:
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is considered as a fatal zoonosis caused by the larvae of Echinococcus multilocularis. The lungs and brain are the most common metastatic organs. We report a human case of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis accompanied by lung and brain metastasis. In particular, the patient had a history of tuberculosis and the lung lesions were easily misdiagnosed as lung abscesses. The lesions of liver and lung underwent radical resection and confirmed as alveolar echinococcosis by pathological examination. The patient had no surgical complications after operation and was discharge

Introduction: Endocarditis associated with medical care is a rare and serious entity. The risk of occurrence is increased in hemodialysis patients due to the immunosuppression and the multiplicity of vascular accesses of different kinds. The mode of revelation can be variable given the diversity of symptoms it causes. Herein, we describe the case of endocarditis associated with medical care in a patient with renal failure who presents with neurological symptoms.

Abstract:
Abstract Purpose Neuroendoscopic biopsy has various advantages, such as being able to collect larger tissue samples and achieving more efficient hemostasis compared to needle biopsy. The purpose of this study is to review the surgical techniques, accuracy of pathological diagnosis, and perioperative complications of patients with intracerebral malignant lymphoma who were diagnosed mainly by neuroendoscopic biopsy. Methods A total of 65 patients diagnosed as having malignant lymphoma, via mainly neuroendoscopic biopsy, were analyzed retrospectively. A flexible neuroendoscope was used for ventri
