Brain Abscess Secondary to a Dental Infection

Figure 1

(a) Left fronto-parietal abscess revealed by a brain scan. (b) Axial view of the magnetic resonance imaging reveals a 45 × 52 mm abscess in the left front-temporal lobe of the brain (T0). (c) Axial view of the magnetic resonance imaging reveals an increase in the volume of the abscess, justifying a second drainage (T + 23 days). (d) Axial view of the magnetic resonance imaging shows a decrease in the abscess relative to the previous image (Figure 1(c)) (T + 2 months).
