A Brain Abscess in a Neonate: A Case report

Introduction Brain abscesses occur at any age and most common cause is a complication of bacterial meningitis, but occur in a neonate of less than one moth of age with no clear history of meningitis is something unique. Here we report a case of 28 days age presented with fever and convulsion and excessive cry, refusal to feed, and vomiting. CT scan and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast studies revealed intra-parenchymal brain abscess in the left frontal region with ring enhancement and midline shift.
