Abstract
A 29-year-old female presented with a brain abscess with
subdural empyema in the left parafalcine region caused by
Finegoldia magna. There was a partial clinical response to
surgery and antibiotic therapy. An acute enfarctus developed
after abscess drainage surgery in occipital lobe. We think that
infarction developed due to transtentorial herniation and with
the mass effect of brain abscess. F magna may be detected in
many cases like soft tissue infections, septic arthritis,
osteomyelitis, endocarditis and necrotizing pneumonia. Actually
this is the first report of brain abscess in which F magna was
found upon bacterial culture.
