Sažetak | This thesis presents a comprehensive review of brain abscesses, focusing on their etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. It aims to address the complexities and challenges in diagnosing and treating recurrent brain abscesses through an extensive literature review and a detailed case report. The case report highlights a patient with multiple brain abscesses, detailing the clinical course, diagnostic workup, treatment modalities, and outcomes. The study underscores the intricate pathogenesis of brain abscesses, driven by interactions between microbial virulence factors and the host's immune defenses, necessitating a nuanced approach to both diagnosis and treatment. Clinical features such as headaches, fever, and neurological deficits often complicate early diagnosis, emphasizing the critical role of advanced neuroimaging techniques. Management strategies combining surgical intervention and antimicrobial therapy, tailored to specific pathogens, are explored. The thesis concludes with a synthesis of key findings, identification of knowledge gaps, and recommendations for optimal management and future research. |
