Abstract

Brain abscess following ischemic stroke is a very rare and dangerous condition that can have catastrophic results, and thus requires urgent and comprehensive evaluation. We report a case of a patient with brain abscess that developed at the lesion site of a previous cerebral infarction. The disruption of the blood-brain barrier in the infarcted lesion might facilitate abscess formation, making it a preferred target for infectious agents. KeyWords:Brain infarction, Brain Abscess
