Pearls & Pitfalls

·In the early phases of transition between cerebritis and an organized abscess, the margins of the capsule can be poorly defined.

·Highly cellular tumors with areas of necrosis may show restricted diffusion that affects the solid (enhancing) component of the tumor, whereas in abscesses, the restriction involves the pus-filled (nonenhancing) cavity.

·Extension to the corpus callosum is rare in abscesses.

·An abscess can rupture through the ependymal lining of the ventricle and cause ventriculitis.
