Evolution of cerebral abscess: correlation of clinical features with computed tomography. A case report.
Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract
Computed tomography demonstrated the evolution of a cerebral abscess. Intravenous contrast material was essential for visualization of the abscess capsule. Computed tomography was more specific than technetium 99 brain scanning and cerebral angiography, and is the only diagnostic tool so far capable of differentiating acute focal encephalitis (cerebritis) from a well-developed abscess.
