We report our experience with hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with antibiotics in the treatment of this disease in a children case. The evolution was very favourable; we believe that the hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a reliable adjuvant therapy for brain abscess. https://www.journals.lapub.co.uk/index.php/roneurosurgery/article/view/1069Brain abscessHyperbaric oxygen therapyStereotactic
