Abstract

CT signs of 20 cases of brain abscess confirmed surgically and pathologically were analyzed in this article. They are often of hypodense lesions with obscure borders. Their periphery presents an isodense image before contrast enhancement, and a clear circular and thin-wall enhancement after contrast enhancement. We conclude that it is necessary to differentiate brain abscess from some intracranial tumors and cerebral cysticercosis sometimes.
