| Popis: | Computed-tomographic scanning demonstrated a cerebellar abscess in a patient with suppurative mastoiditis. Following radical mastoidectomy, computed-tomographically guided percutaneous drainage of the abscess resulted in substantial improvement in the patient's deteriorating neurologic condition. Because of the prior mastoidectomy, burr holes were not required for the drainage, permitting a percutaneous approach to a cerebellar lesion. |
