Etiological agent and primary source of infection in 42 cases of focal intracranial suppuration.

The microbiological findings for 42 patients with focal intracranial suppuration were analyzed and correlated with the different sources of primary infection. Streptococcus spp. were identified in focal intracranial suppuration of all origins except postcraniotomy. Microaerophilic streptococci were important in cases secondary to respiratory tract infection and in those of unknown origin. Streptococcus faecalis, Proteus spp., and Bacteroides fragilis were the organisms most commonly found in polymicrobial otogenic abscesses. Clostridium sp. was the main microorganism implicated in postcraniotomy suppurations.

Otogenic Interhemispheric brain abscess

Otogenic brain abscesses are usually situated either in temporal lobe or cerebellum. We are presenting two cases of otogenic Interhemispheric abscess, comparatively rare site with confusing signs and symptoms.

OTOGENIC ABSCESS OF THE CONTRALATERAL FRONTAL LOBE: With Report of a Case

THE FRONTAL lobe seems to be an uncommon site of otogenic abscess of the brain. Nielsen and Courville1made a most thorough survey of the literature and collected altogether 39 cases. In only 10 of these was the abscess a complication of otitis media occurring on the opposite side. No cases of contralateral otogenic abscess of the frontal lobe were disclosed by the records of the Presbyterian Hospital, New York. In 4 of the cases reported in the literature a chronic, and in 6 an acute, otitis media was the primary cause. Multiple abscesses were found in the opposite frontal lobe in only 1 of these cases. Thrombophlebitis of the venous sinuses on the side of the otitis was noted in 2 cases. In 6 of these 10 cases the diagnosis of abscess of the contralateral frontal lobe was first made at autopsy. In 8 of these 10 cases the

SIGNIFICANCE OF DEEP EPIDURAL ABSCESSES IN PATHOGENESIS OF OTOGENIC ABSCESSES OF THE BRAIN

THE clinical and pathologic aspects of otogenic abscesses of the brain have already been widely and thoroughly discussed. Among the various pathologic conditions which may cause them, deep epidural abscesses resulting from perilabyrinthine suppurations deserve particular interest. This is seen clearly in the 3 cases reported in this paper, in which the abscesses showed unusual diagnostic and pathogenetic features. All the cases ended fatally, and the brain and temporal bones were available for histologic examination. REPORT OF CASES Case1.—W. B., a man 25 years old, was admitted to the Neurological Institute of New York on Aug. 30, 1938. At the age of 8, he had suffered from right-sided acute otitis media following scarlet fever, with discharge from the ear for one week. Since that time he had not had any complaints regarding his ear. In January 1938, he had severe bilateral frontal headaches off and on for one week.

OTOGENOUS ABSCESS OF THE PARIETAL LOBE

Otogenous abscess of the brain is commonly located in the temporal lobe or cerebellum. This dictum has proved to be true so often that the exceptions to it—cases of abscess in another cerebral lobe—have been almost entirely forgotten or ignored. The more critical reviews concerned with intracranial complications of otitis media refer to individual and often isolated cases of abscess in the frontal, parietal or occipital lobe. Those in the frontal lobe, perhaps because of their greater incidence in this remote group, have been given most attention. That these more distant abscesses are not as uncommon as they first appear to be is indicated by their frequency in any large series of cases of otitic abscesses verified at autopsy. This incidence is not absolute, for an increasing percentage of patients with abscess in the temporal lobe or cerebellum are cured by surgical drainage, while abscess elsewhere has been almost uniformly
