@entity4008 is frequently fatal or leads to severe @entity16 . Complications such as @entity1333 , resulting in @entity1188 , should be anticipated and dealt with promptly. Our aim was to demonstrate the complications of @entity693 by @entity353 ( @entity353 ) in @entity1 who deteriorated despite therapy. We studied 13 @entity1 between the ages of 1 day and 32 months who presented with symptoms ranging from @entity221 and @entity391 to @entity410 , @entity75 and @entity772 due to @entity4008 , performing MRI, including @entity353 , 2-5 days after presentation. @entity1188 were found on @entity353 in 12 of the 13, most commonly in the frontal lobes (in 10). Global involvement was seen in four @entity1 , three of whom died; the fourth had a very poor outcome. In one case abnormalities on @entity353 were due to @entity3553 . We diagnosed @entity1333 in three of five @entity1 studied with MRA. We think @entity353 an important part of an MRI study in @entity1 with @entity693 . Small @entity62 due to @entity1333 can lead to tissue damage not easily recognized on routine imaging and @entity353 can be used to confirm that extra-axial collections represent empyemas.
