Abstract:
Brain abscess is a rare but dangerous suppurative infection. Incidence of congenital heart disease varies from 5% to 18.7%. Despite the improvement in imaging modalities, medical management with newer antibiotics and surgical management, mortality is quite high. We hereby present a case of large brain abscess in a patient of tetralogy of Fallot which was successfully treated by drainage of pus through burr hole and intravenous antibiotics.
