Cranial ultrasonography of the patient on the 40th day of life. (A) Frontal plane image showing a hyperechogenic change (abscess) located in the right frontal lobe (white arrow). (B) Sagittal plane image showing a hypoechogenic halo surrounding the abscess located in the right frontal lobe (white arrow).

The evolution of the abscesses during treatment is shown on US and MR images (Figures 1-4).
Cranial ultrasonography of the patient on the 46th day of life. (A) Frontal plane image showing multiple brain abscesses in both frontal lobes. A large abscess is located in the right frontal lobe (white arrow) and a smaller one in the left frontal lobe (black arrow). (B) Sagittal plane image showing a brain abscess located in the left frontal lobe (white arrow), and changes in that area (black arrow).

Brain MRI of the patient on the 44th day of life. Multiple abscesses. (A) T2-weighted image in the sagittal plane: two abscesses are located in the frontal lobes (white arrow) and one in the parietal lobe (black arrow). (B) DWI sequence in the axial plane: typical, hyperintense contents of the abscesses in both frontal lobes (right side-white arrow, left side-arrowhead). (C) ADC map corresponding to Figure (B) with very low values of ADC (black and white arrow), typical of an abscesses. (D) T1-weighted, post-contrast image in the coronal plane. Contrast enhancement of the abscess capsule is readily observed in the right frontal lobe (white arrow).

Brain MRI of the patient on the 88th day of life. (A) T2-weighted image in the sagittal plane showing cavities in the left frontal lobe (black arrow) and in the left occipital lobe (white arrow), bordering the left lateral ventricle. (B) FLAIR image in the coronal plane.
