Three cases of @entity438 associated with @entity884 are reported. All of the @entity1 were successfully treated by various combinations of cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and chemotherapy with antibiotics. Case 1: A 39-year-old female was admitted with the complaint of sudden onset of severe @entity10 following persistent @entity221 of @entity21628 's duration. CT scan revealed a left frontal old @entity1410 and angiography detected an @entity439 located in the frontal ascending branch of the left middle cerebral artery. After 2 weeks' antibiotic therapy, the second angiography showed the @entity439 to be decreased in size. The third angiography, performed 2 weeks after @entity299 for @entity884 , demonstrated complete resolution of the @entity439 . Case 2: A 19-year-old male entered hospital with high @entity221 and chills. In addition to @entity884 , CT scan and angiography revealed an @entity439 arising from the distal portion of the left posterior cerebral artery. The @entity1 was treated with high dose antibiotics and then his general condition improved. However, angiography examined 4 weeks after the initial study demonstrated the @entity439 to be apparently enlarged. Therefore, the @entity439 was excised before cardiac surgery. Repeated angiography after valve replacement showed no further @entity439 . Case 3: A 30-year-old female was admitted on the diagnosis of @entity884 and @entity693 . CT scan showed abnormal density areas in the right frontal lobe and the left temporal lobe.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
