Meningioma-associated abscess: an unusual case report and review of the literature
Central nervous system (CNS) infection and neoplasm occur most often independently. Their concomitant presentation has been noted across different CNS tumours but is considered a rare entity. The phenomenon is mostly seen in relation to direct seeding of infection via frontal air sinuses. Here, we p...

description | Central nervous system (CNS) infection and neoplasm occur most often independently. Their concomitant presentation has been noted across different CNS tumours but is considered a rare entity. The phenomenon is mostly seen in relation to direct seeding of infection via frontal air sinuses. Here, we present an unusual case of an occipital meningioma associated with intraparenchymal paratumoural abscess formation. It is also the second documented to culture methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. We then review and surmise the relevant literature of meningioma-associated abscess. We discuss the clinical presentations, aetiology, suspected pathogenesis, management and outcomes reported. |
