OBJECTIVE: Cerebellar abscesses that are often ominously silent have a significant
mortality. Sudden total occlusion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways makes an
aggressive surgical approach mandatory. Our neurosurgical unit at Wentworth Hospital,
Durban, South Africa, prospectively instituted a protocol for patients with cerebellar
abscesses with reference to CSF diversion with the aim of improving outcome. Our 13-year
experience with this approach to cerebellar abscesses is presented. METHODS: Since …
