Brain abscess as a rare complication of endovascular coiling for cerebral aneurysm: A case report and literature review
Perianeurysmal brain abscess in patients undergoing aneurysm coil embolization is a rare but potentially life-threatening. Treatment generally follows the protocol applied to cerebral abscesses in other conditions, involving surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotic therapy. However, before proceeding with drainage, it is crucial to confirm the absence of residual aneurysm or recanalization of a previously treated aneurysm to avoid hemorrhage risks.
