A rare case of brain abscess 6 years after removal of a convexity meningioma

Abstract
Inflammatory complications after planned neurosurgical interventions are a rare but formidable complication. The incidence of this pathology is 0.5–7.7 %. The vast majority of purulent-inflammatory complications are observed within the first month after craniotomy. A case of subdural and intracerebral abscesses of the brain that developed 6 years after the planned removal of convexital meningioma of the frontal region was demonstrated.
Supporting agencies: The study was performed without external funding.
