title: Cerebral abscesses: topic treatment with antibiotics.
abstract: The Authors, after a brief discussion of current therapies used in the treatment of cerebral abscesses, present a series of 10 cases treated topically with antibiotics (through drill-hole and puncturing of the abscess). The determining role of CT scan in this technique is emphasised.
