Abstract
We observed 4 cases of so-called Brodie's abscess. All patients were male, and two were adults. Diagnosis was made by blood examination, roentgenogram, tomogram, CT, scintiphotograph, bactenological culture, and clinical symptoms.Patients were treated by surgical evacuation of the abscess and with antibiotics.In the 2 adult cases, the focus was relatively large, therefore we initially evacuated the abscess surgically and inserted antibiotic mixed cement beads. Secondly we performed a bone graft.No recurrences were seen.We believe that surgical evacuation of the lesion, followed by antibiotics, is an appropriate treatment, and that use of antibiotic mixed cement beads would decrease recurrence of this abscess.
