[A case of favorable outcome of conservative treatment of acute otogenic cerebellar abscess].
The authors report a case of conservatively cured abscess in the left cerebellar hemisphere demonstrated by CT. The patient was admitted in serious condition to a neurotraumatology centre. After pharmacological treatment a quick improvement of patient's health was achieved and control CT examination during his stay in hospital and after discharge from hospital confirmed the relation between clinical improvement and regression of changes in CT. The presented case points to the possibility of conservative treatment of brain abscesses if the patient meets certain clinical criteria, and CT provides the possibility of repeated checking of the dynamics of intracranial lesion.
