7. SURGICAL TREATMENT OF INTRACRANIAL INFECTIONS
In this chapter we consider bacterial infections and some parasitic lesions as cysticercosis and hydatid cysts that may require neurosurgical treatment for the control of infection or to relieve pressure on the intracranial content. These infections are mostly metastatic, but they can occur by direct spread from a nearby infected focus, or as a result of a surgical procedure.
