Translated Title

腦膿瘍發生於原出血性腦中風的位置：病例報告

Abstract

Brain abscess is a neurological emergency that requires immediate high-dose antibiotics or surgical intervention. Brain abscess at the site of a previous hemorrhagic stroke that did not receive surgical intervention is rare. Here, we report the case of a 48-year-old man who developed a brain abscess as infective transformation of a preceding right putaminal hemorrhage, 22 days after the stroke. The patient recovered after surgical treatment and systemic antibiotics therapy. An abscess culture test revealed the presence of Group D Salmonella, which has never been reported in a case of brain abscess. A comprehensive literature reviewarticle was performed. We concluded that the possibility of brain abscess formation at the site of intracranial hemorrhage or infarction should be considered when a patient deteriorates clinically after a stroke.
