Overview
During the 16th century, French surgeon S.F. Morand was the first to complete a successful drainage of a brain abscess. Hippocrates was one of the first authors to explore the findings that ear infections, an event associated with brain abscesses, could progress to delirium and death. It was not until the late 19th century that methodical developments of surgery were available to treat these abscesses.[1]
