Abstract

We had experienced a case of hematogenous brain abscess which occurred at the site of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The 41-year-old patient was admitted with sponetaneous intracerebral hemorrhage on left basal ganglia and sepsis. Brain abscess was incidentally detected by stereotactic aspiration of intracerebral hemorrhage, followed by the gram staining and culture of aspirated material.
