Abstract:
Intracranial infections are unusual manifestations of salmonellosis. Even with adequate medical and surgical interventions these infections are often associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of brain abscess caused by Salmonella enteritidis associated with a brain neoplasm and review previous reports in the literature.
