Brain abscess due to clostridium celerecrescens: first report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Brain abscess caused by atypical pathogens presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The unusual clinical presentations, coupled with incomplete or inaccurate patient histories, often result in misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

Case presentation

We report a case of a retained intracranial bamboo foreign body resulting in a brain abscess. A female adolescent presented with a newly developed mass on the eyelid. Medical imaging identified a foreign body that had penetrated the frontal lobes via the transorbital route, leading to the formation of a brain abscess. The foreign body was successfully removed through transnasal endoscopy. Inflamed tissue adherent to the foreign body was cultured and analyzed using metagenomic next-generation seque
