A case of thalamic abscess treated by endoscopic surgery Gajdhar Mufique, Yadav YR Abstract We report about a 7-year-old female child with cyanotic heart disease whose thalamic abscess was successfully treated by endoscope-assisted abscess drainage. Endoscopic aspiration of thalamic abscess appears to be a safe and effective method of treatment for deep-seated abscesses, as direct visualization of the abscess cavity is possible and the completeness of evacuation can be assessed. Keywords Endoscopic surgery; minimal invasive surgery; thalamic abscess.
