Intracranial abscesses are rare lesions with an incidence estimated at 1500-2500 cases per year in the United States. Widespread use of neuroimaging has led to rapid diagnosis, decreasing the mortality rate from 40-50% to approximately 20. Treatment options include systemic antibiotic therapy, needle aspiration through a burr hole, and open craniotomy for excision.
The recently introduced IRRAflow self-irrigating catheter system has been used to treat subdural hematomas and intraventricular hemorrhages although research into other applications for this technology is still ongoing.
Dr. Ryan Hess, neurosurgeon form Buffalo General Hospital presents a case review of an intracranial abscess treated via open craniotomy and IRRAflow placement allowing for continuous irrigation and drainage of the abscess.
