Intracranial abscess and granuloma - what does this mean
Intracranial abscesses and granulomas are caused by bacterial or fungal infections that spread through the blood or directly to the brain from a nearby source of infection. they can also be caused by a foreign body, such as a tumor, that has become infected. symptoms may include headache, fever, confusion, and seizures. treatment typically involves antibiotics and, in some cases, surgery to remove the abscess or granuloma.
What happens during the disease - intracranial abscess and granuloma
Intracranial abscess and granuloma is a rare condition usually caused by bacteria, fungi, or parasites that enter the brain through the bloodstream or direct trauma to the head. the bacteria, fungi, or parasites can form a collection of pus and granulomas, which can cause inflammation and tissue damage to the brain. this can lead to symptoms such as headache, fever, seizures, and confusion. treatment typically involves antibiotics, antifungal medications, or surgery to remove the abscess and granuloma.
