CASE REPORT: A boy of 8 suffering from hemoglobinopathy M had two encapsulated cerebral abscesses confirmed on CT--one in the right temporal lobe, the second in the left frontal lobe--measuring 48 and 58 mm in diameter respectively. The disease began with fever, daily vomiting, and permanent somnolency, and was defined as encephalitis of viral etiology. TREATMENT: Conservative treatment proved ineffective and the patient's state grew worse. He underwent simultaneous excision of the two cerebral abscesses with a capsule. Continuous drainage of the operational cavities was performed. OUTCOME: The patient has been observed for 3 months.
