Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations(PAVM) are uncommon diseases. Brain abscesses could be a rare and devastating complication of PAVM. Central nervous complaints may be the first manifestations of PAVM. We report a case of PAVM presented by brain abscess, which was treated by craniotomy.

A case of infantile multiloculated brain abscess diagnosed by computerized tomography and enhancement with intravenous contrast material is introduced. In this case, patient was successfully treated by repeated needle aspiration and lesions were observed by means of serial computerized tomography and intracapsular microbarium injection. The abscess cavities were punctured stereotaxically on measuring the lesions of the plain skull film with consequence C.A.T scan.

PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to correlate the CT and histopathologic findings of abscess wall. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The CT findings of 12 patients with pathologically proven brain abscess were retrospectively analyzed with particular attention to the thickness, smoothness and uniformity of enhancing abscess wall, and the results were correlated with histopathologic findings. RESULTS: Two patients with acute cerebritis showed an isodense ring on non-contrast CT(NCCT), but a true capsule formation could not be identified at pathologic examination. Six other patients with isodense ring on NCCT consisted of early to late cerebritis(3 cases), late cerebritis to early capsule(1 case), early capsule(1 case), and late capsule(1 case). These 6 cases showed ring enhancement on contrast enhanced CT(CECT) and true capsule formation pathologically. There was no isodense ring on NCCT in the remaining four patients. They consisted of early to late cerebritis(2 cases), late cerebritis(1 case), and late cerebritis to early capsule formation(1 case). These also showed ring enhancement on CECT and true capsule formation pathologically. CONCLUSION: We found that it is difficult to predict the exact stage of brain abscess on preoperative CT findings. It is suggested that clinical findings and sequential dynamic CT may provide more detailed informations for evaluation of abscess staging.

9.Results of treatment of brain abcesses by 2 methods: needle aspiration and capsula removal
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1998;255(6):83-87
The records of 75 patients with brain abscesses treated over 7 years were analysed. Congenital cardiopathies were the most frequent causes of abscess. Organisms were identified in 74.07% of the cultures from abcesses speciment. The patients were grouped according to the treatment received: excision (n=42) aspiration (n=33). There were no significant differences is the mortality rates between the two groups. Patients treated by aspiration had a significantly less morbidity than patients treated by excision. Early and aggeressive treatment can result in an excellent outcome in the large majority of patients.

10.Surgical treatment of brain abscess by abscess ablation
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;439(9):42-45
An analysis of 26 patients with brain abscesses treated by abscess ablation has shown that the morbidity rate, complications, relapsed brain abscess, repeated surgery and duration of antibiotic using. The bacteria were isolated in 42% of samples. The abscess ablation was indicated for cases of brain abscess with foreign bodies, brain abscess occurred after cerebrocranial surgery or cerebrocranial injuries. The needle aspiration indicated for cases of brain multiabscess, patients with thalamic perception impairment received needle aspiration in the first stage and abscess ablation in the second stage.
