Abstract

Fusobacterium nucleatum (FN) is an opportunistic, gram-negative bacillus that can rarely cause a brain abscess. Thalamic localization of brain abscesses is much rarer than abscesses in other locations of the brain. We present a case of a left-sided thalamic abscess caused by FN in a 59-yearold male patient who debuted with right side hemiparesis. The patient was successfully treated by repeated navigated aspiration and antibiotherapy.
