Abstract

A 14-year-old female with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) developed an acute hemolytic crisis with acute renal failure under conventional treatment with corticosteroids. Because of the life-threatening situation, we decided to start pulse dose methylprednisolone and also hemodialysis with a femoral catheter placement was performed. Fifteen days after initiating of dialysis subfebrile fever was developed, followed within 2 days with a left hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple intracerebral abscesses. The clinical picture worsened and the patient died before scheduled surgery for the abscesses., (2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc)

Abstract

We describe herein the use of MR fluoroscopic guidance in the drainage of abscess cavities. We percutaneously drained 12 brain abscesses in 11 patients. A 0.3T open MR imaging system was used. Sixteen drainages were performed in 12 abscesses. Repeat drainage was needed in three recurrences and one residual lesion. No serious complications were seen. MR fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous brain abscess drainage in an open MR imaging system is feasible.
