title: [Brain abscess in the neonatal period].
abstract: Cerebral abscess is considered as a rare lesion with severe prognosis in neonates. The present means of cerebral imaging allow for a better estimation of its frequency, a more precise diagnosis of the evolutive stage and the estimation of the efficacy of the treatments. Incision-drainage associated with antibiotic treatment was successful in children. Two cases of neonatal cerebral abscesses treated and cured according to this protocol are reported.
