Abstract
- Brain abscess consists of suppurative necrosis of the brain parenchyma. Young adult male often affected. Most abscesses arise from structures surrounding the brain: (middle ear, temporal bone, tonsil infection) about 40-50%. Metastatic bloodstream spread of infection from the SBE (subacute bacterial endocarditis) and lungs in adult or from remote sites, cyanotic congenital heart disease, and penetrating head trauma or brain surgery can also result in brain absecess. Multiple brain abscess associated with bacterial meningitis cases rarely reported in neonate s and young infants, but in adult case is not reported in Korea. We report a 61-year-old man who has multiple brain abscess associated with bacterial meningitis (Eschesrichia Coli).
