Abstract

A rare case of brain abscess due to Gemella morbillorum, a normal inhabitant of the oral cavity, is presented. The aim of this report is to draw the attention of radiology literature readers to this little known pathogen, which caused a potentially life-threatening condition in an immunocompetent young man, and to emphasise the usefulness of a combined stereotactic, medical, and imaging approach to deep-located brain abscesses.

摘要

本文报告了一例罕见的由口腔正常菌群——麻疹孪生球菌引起的脑脓肿病例。本报告旨在引起放射学文献读者对这种鲜为人知的病原体的关注，它在一名免疫功能正常的年轻人身上引发了潜在的危及生命的状况，并强调了立体定向、药物及影像学联合方法对深部脑脓肿的有效性。
