Delayed brain abscess formation after mechanical thrombectomy for probable septic cerebral embolism: A case report and literature review
This case highlights both the diagnostic value of retrieved thrombi in SCE and the potential for delayed abscess formation after recanalization therapy using MT. In addition, this finding suggests the importance of ongoing vigilance for delayed brain abscess formation following SCE. In a severe clinical condition of sepsis, early diagnosis and tailored interventions are essential to improve outcomes.
