Question

CNS abscesses may be the result of a local infection or may be secondary to infections elsewhere in the body. Common causative organisms are staphylococci, streptococci, or pneumococci. Any occurrence that breaches the integrity of the CNS, including head trauma and a craniotomy wound, may be the portal of entry for the microorganisms. The abscess may be secondary to another infectious process, including sinusitis, otitis, dental abscess, subdural empyema, and bacterial endocarditis (see Figure 13-24). Chronic alcohol intoxication; toxicity from arsenic, lead, carbon disulfide, benzene, or phosphorus; infectious diseases, including mumps, pneumonia, and diphtheria; metabolic or inflammatory disorders, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and systemic lupus erythematosus; and certain nutritional deficiency diseases are all causative factors. The nerve degeneration leads to muscle weakness and sensory loss.
