An intracranial abscess is a collection of infection inside the skull, including a brain abscess. It can cause headache, fever, seizures or neurological changes and requires urgent hospital investigation. Treatment generally involves antibiotics and, when appropriate, drainage or surgery.
HBOT may be considered as an additional treatment for selected difficult cases, such as infections that are not responding adequately or cannot be safely drained. Increasing oxygen delivery may support infection control in affected tissues. It does not replace antibiotics, neurosurgical care or emergency treatment, and suitability must be assessed by the treating hospital team.
