METHODS
A boy of 8 suffering from hemoglobinopathy M had two encapsulated cerebral abscesses confirmed on CT--one in the right temporal lobe, the second in the left frontal lobe--measuring 48 and 58 mm in diameter respectively. The disease began with fever, daily vomiting, and permanent somnolency, and was defined as encephalitis of viral etiology.
METHODS
Conservative treatment proved ineffective and the patient's state grew worse. He underwent simultaneous excision of the two cerebral abscesses with a capsule. Continuous drainage of the operational cavities was performed.
RESULTS
The patient has been observed for 3 months.
