Popis: A 24-year-old female with chronic otitis media presents to the emergency department with fever, headache, and vomiting for 2 days and an episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizure an hour ago. Her examination showed normal consciousness, weight 54 kg, heart rate of 96 beats/min, blood pressure of 128/80 mmHg, respiratory rate of 20 breaths/min, and SpO2 of 98% in room air. Computed tomography of the brain revealed a 3 cm × 2.6 cm space-occupying lesion in the frontal region of the brain that was consistent with brain abscess.
