Abstract
Objective
Brain abscesses represent organized foci of suppuration within the parenchyma. Here we report a 3 month-old girl with a very huge complicated cerebral abscess, and the course of treatment given. The patient's recovery was excellent. The follow up MRI showed only subtle porencephalic changes as the only parenchymal sequelae, which may be due to CNS plasticity in infants.
