Figure 1 Preoperative imaging examination for brain abscess. (A) Preoperative cranial CT: Defect in the parietal skull. (B) Preoperative contrast-enhanced cranial MRI: T1-weighted image (T1WI) shows an extracranial soft-tissue mass, an adjacent intracranial cystic lesion (thin arrow) with rim enhancement, underlying parietal bone destruction (thick arrow), brain abscess, and subdural effusion (star). (C) Cranial MRI (DWI) at age 1 month: High-intensity signal in the left parietal intracranial region. (D) Preoperative cranial MRI (DWI): Abscess formation is visible.
