【 摘 要 】

Multiple brain abscesses are exceedingly uncommon in newborns and represent a serious medical problem associated with high morbidity and mortality. Treatment is also controversial issue, and can require surgery, abscess aspiration, antibiotic therapy, and eradication of the primary source. We report a case of successfully treated multiple brain abscess in a newborn with combined therapy which consisted of abscess aspiration and prolonged antibiotics. Patient developed hydrocephalus as late complication which was also successfully treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
