CLINICAL CASE OF RHINOSINUSOGENIC BRAIN ABSCESS AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
In this retrospective study, we analyze a case of rhinosinusogenic brain abscess. A 54–year–old male patient was admitted to the neurosurgery department of the 1st clinic of the Samara State Medical Institute with headache for several months and epileptic seizures over the last week, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. On MRI of the brain, a round, bulky mass was found in the right frontal lobe, as well as clearly enhanced DWI signals, and on the annular wall there was a clear increase in signal intensity after amplification. Before the operation, the patient was diagnosed with a brain abscess and underwent a minimally invasive operation — a milling hole was placed in the projection of the abscess. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed a brain abscess.
