Updates to Study Attributes
Findings
was changed:
There is a smooth thin ring enhancing-enhancing lesion with central restricted diffusion at the left frontal lobe, consistent with brain abscess.
Evidence of rupture into the lateral ventricle with intraventricular restricted diffusion content and mild enhancement along the ependymal lining are suggestive of ventriculitis.
