Brain Abscess

A brain abscess is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition where a pocket of pus forms in the brain due to infection. It can result from infections spreading from the ear, sinuses, bloodstream, or following head trauma or surgery. Symptoms may include severe headache, fever, nausea, neurological deficits, or seizures. Prompt diagnosis with MRI or CT scan is essential. Treatment typically includes intravenous antibiotics and, in some cases, surgical drainage. Early intervention is critical to prevent complications and preserve brain function.
