Brucellosis is an infectious disease with multisystemic involvement caused by the genus Brucella. Neurological complications, including meningitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis-radiculoneuritis, brain abscess, epidural abscess and meningovascular syndromes, are rarely encountered. We present a

Seizure is the most common neurological disorders in children, where, 4-10% cases experience at least one seizure before the age of 16. The most frequent causes of seizures in children are fever, epilepsy, infection and brain damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the OBJECTIVE
Cranial epidural abscess mostly follows sinusitis or mastoiditis, also open cranial injury or cranial surgery with iatrogenic infection. In our case the abscess possibly evolved from epidural haematoma and the process invaded frontal sinus and subgaleal space in the frontal
OBJECTIVE
Review the clinical signs and symptoms, management, bacteriology and outcomes of patients treated for lateral sinus thrombosis.
METHODS

The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of children with intracranial subdural empyemas (SEs) and epidural abscesses (EAs) to highlight the important clinical difference between these two entities. They describe the delays and pitfalls in achieving Chronic sinusitis is a relatively common diagnosis throughout the US. In patients with an otherwise unremarkable medical history the treatment is typically supportive, requiring only clinical evaluation.

Reports on outcome after multilobar resection (MLR) are scarce and most are retrospective single-centre studies or case studies with few patients. The aim of this study is to present seizure and complication outcomes 2 years after MLR in a prospective population-based series.

Focal intracranial infections are unusual manifestations of salmonellosis. Forty-three such infections have been reported in the world literature. The clinical data for 34 well-documented cases are reviewed. Eleven patients had brain abscess, 19 had subdural empyema, three had epidural abscess, and
