Abstract
A case of right parietal abscess following esophageal dilatation for peptic stricture
secondary to hiatus hernia with reflux in an 18-month-old-male child is reported.
Prior cases of brain abscess following esophageal dilatation are reviewed. The combination
of history, clinical findings, and computed tomography scan in the current case allowed
confident preoperative diagnosis of brain abscess and allowed emergency treatment
of the lesion by simple aspiration through a burr hole.
