Simple aspiration involves using a CT scan to locate the abscess, then drilling a small hole known as a "burr hole" into the skull. The pus is then drained through the hole and the hole sealed. A simple aspiration takes around one hour to complete.

Open aspiration and excisions are usually carried out using a surgical procedure known as a craniotomy. A craniotomy may be recommended if an abscess does not respond to aspiration or reoccurs at a later date. During a craniotomy, the surgeon will shave a small section of your hair and then remove a small piece of your skull bone (a bone flap) to gain access to your brain.
