A Critical Case with High Mortality Risk

Kriti was admitted with highgrade fever, severe headache, altered consciousness, and rightside weakness. MRI scans revealed a deep-seated brain abscess that had ruptured into the ventricles, the fluid-filled chambers of the brain responsible for cerebrospinal fluid circulation.

This condition is associated with an extremely high mortality rate, making her survival far from guaranteed.
