Abstract

Although brain abscess may occur without evident risk factors, well-known risk factors are diabetes mellitus, head trauma, neurosurgical operations and immunosuppression. We present two cases of brain abscess, the first due to Klebsiella pneumoniae in a patient with diabetes mellitus as a risk factor, and the second due to Pseudomonas sp. in a patient without any known risk factor. Both patients required reoperation for relapses after initial operations performed partially because of the locations of the abscesses.

Özet

Beyin apsesi bir risk faktörü olmadan da gelişebilmekle birlikte, iyi bilinen risk faktörleri arasında diabetes mellitus, kafa travması, beyin cerrahisi ve immünosüpresyon sayılabilir. Sunulan olgulardan birinde diabetes mellitus ve Klebsiella pneumoniae birlikteliği mevcutken, diğerinde risk faktörü olmaksızın gelişen Pseudomonas sp. apsesi saptanmıştır. Her iki olguda da apse yerleşim yeri nedeniyle kısmi cerrahi uygulanabilmiş ve nüks geliştiği için tekrar ameliyat edilmişlerdir.
