Cerebral abscess is often a complication of chronic sinus or middle-ear infections, or the distant spread of the infection from somewhere else (such as a lung abscess or pneumonia). It can also be a consequence of head trauma or a neurosurgical procedure. The symptoms depend on the location of the abscess, but almost all people with this condition have a severe headache, fever, or generalized malaise. Treatment includes IV antibiotics and frequently surgical drainage.
