Absceso cerebral bilateral frontal, medicina hiperbárica, cirugía y terapia antimicrobiana en germen extraño. Reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura
Brain abscesses are rare in immunologically competent patients, usually secondary to infectious processes in the skull cavities, mainly in the paranasal sinuses, mastoid cells, and middle ear.Different management schemes have been proposed in the presence of microorganisms that, day by day, are more resistant to pharmacological treatments.Depending on their size and location, brain abscesses require medical and surgical management in conjunction with newfangled techniques such as hyperbaric therapy.We present the clinical case of a 20-year-old male with intense headaches and compromises in his neurological state secondary to two large abscesses in the frontal cerebral lobes with a satisfactory resolution with the patient's neurological and functional state with 100% eradication of the collection.
