Brain abscess aspiration in nursery with ultrasound guidance. Case report.

The authors report the case of a 1000-gm neonate who developed a frontal brain abscess due to a Serratia marcescens infection. The relationship of the mass to the neighboring ventricle and to the coronal suture was determined by computerized tomography. The mass was then successfully aspirated in the intensive care nursery with ultrasound guidance.

Delayed complications of craniocerebral trauma: case report.

A young man incurred a head injury with transiently impaired consciousness, multiple skull fractures, and monocular blindness.
