Department of Neuro, Korea University College of edicine, Guro Hospital, Seoul, Korea Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical presentation, sources of infection, outcome and microorganisms involved in the brain abscess in our locality. ethods: The case notes, radiological results and laboratory records of all 27 patients who were diagnosed as a brain abscess in our institution between 0 and 200, were reviewed retrospectively. Results: The mean age of the 27 patients was 7.7 years and the ratio of male to female was 2:. The common presenting symptoms were, pyrexia, and changed mental status. The temporal lobe was the commonest site () and the frontal lobe () was followed. The primary sources of infection were found in cases (%), and those were bacterial (), prior (), otic infection (2) and trauma (2). Surgical intervention was performed in of 27 patients. Culture of material drained from abscess isolated microorganism from cases of the patients. The isolates were Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mitis, Pseudomonas auresinosa and Proteus mirabilis. Three patients were died (%) and the causes of death were medullary failure and septicemia (one patient was discharged hopelessly). Conclusion: There was a relatively high incidence of negative culture rate (7%) compared with other studies and the reason would might administration of antibiotics prior to.
