A case of multiple brain abscesses is presented. The patient was treated with systemic antibiotics; one of the lesions acutely increased in size, became life-threatening, and was surgically removed. The patient continued with antibiotic treatment, and the remaining brain abscesses completely disappeared. Recent followup review almost 2 years after diagnosis demonstrated no evidence of recurrence.
