Özet

Objective: Brain abscess is relatively uncommon and remains a serious, life-threatening condition especially in children. Despite improvements in its prognosis due to recent advances in early diagnosis and treatment, associated morbidity and mortality have remained significant in pediatric patients. The objective of this paper is to review of 43 children with the diagnosis of brain abscess and identify prognostic factors.
