Computed tomography-guided drainage of a canine intracerebral abscess.

An approximately 7-week-old female American Bulldog was presented for head injury and seizures. The dog was obtunded with absent left-sided postural reactions, absent left palpebral reflex, delayed vestibulo-ocular reflex bilaterally, and calvarial hyperesthesia. CT revealed a fragmented, depressed fracture of the right frontal bone, with an associated abscess and evidence of raised intracranial pressure.

Sacroiliac Joint Tuberculosis With Concomitant Iliopsoas Abscess Suggesting a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge: A Case Report.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) tuberculosis (TB) is an infrequent clinical entity, especially in developed countries. The symptoms are usually non-specific, and therefore it may mimic a variety of degenerative and non-degenerative diseases, hampering the diagnosis. An interesting case of SIJ infection with psoas abscess in a 77-year-old male is presented in the current article.

Novel Use of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Diagnosing Meningitis and Ventriculitis: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: is a commensal microflora commonly found in various mucosal sites in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts. It causes invasive suppurative infections including liver and brain abscesses along with thoracic empyema. However, it rarely causes meningitis without abscess formation.

Complications of acute rhinossinusitis. A clinical radiological review.

Acute rhinossinusitis is defined as a symptomatic inflammation of the nasal fossa and paranasal sinuses. The diagnosis of this disease is clinical and usually does not require imaging evaluation. However, when there is a suspicion of a complication or even for surgical planning, imaging is of primordial importance.

Brain abscesses in an immunocompromised patient with a soft tissue mass.

Unlabelled: Nocardiosis is a rare opportunistic infection and may be misdiagnosed as tuberculosis in the immunocompromised patient. This case report highlights the importance of doing tissue cultures in immunocompromised individuals to correctly identify spp. and initiate appropriate treatment timeously.

A rare case of cerebellar abscess caused by .

Background: Gram-positive opportunistic bacteria of the species are responsible for a large spectrum of infections, such as pneumonia, skin infections, and more widespread conditions, including brain abscesses.

Case Description: A 67-year-old male patient suffered from headache, gait disorder, and vertigo for a week before admission to our department. An enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed a mediosagittal hyperintense infratentorial lesion with concomitant compression of the fourth ventricle.

Intramedullary spinal cord abscess due to disseminated hypermucoviscous infection: A rare case report.

Background: Intramedullary spinal cord abscess (ISCA) is a rare and serious condition with high disability and mortality rates. is known for its aggressive and disseminated abscess formation. However, ISCA caused by has only been reported in two cases.

Penetrating intracranial injury from a pencil in a pediatric patient: illustrative case.

Background: Intracranial penetrating injuries from a pencil are exceptionally rare. The most common mechanism is a child running while holding a pencil. Potential consequences of intracranial pencil injury include direct trauma to brain structures, vascular injury, and intracranial abscess formation.

Navigating the Complexity of Thalamic Abscess: A Systematic Review of Case Studies and Evidence-Based Management.

Thalamic abscesses are rare, life-threatening conditions and represent only a few percent of the total cases of brain abscesses. Due to their deep location and critical involvement of sensory and motor pathways, they remain one of the most challenging entities to diagnose and manage. Despite advances in neuro-imaging and neurosurgical techniques, thalamic abscess continues to be a challenge or question in clinical practice regarding optimum treatment modality.

The patient described in this case report was admitted to the San Luigi Hospital in Turin for confusion, drowsiness, and buccal and eye deviation. An acute neurological disease was suspected. He was affected by chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) on active treatment with the novel Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) acalabrutinib.
