Abstract:
:A 16-year-old non-immunocompromised and otherwise healthy patient presented with a tuberculous brain abscess. The abscess was aspirated stereotactically. Following the aspiration the disease process flared up and multiple daughter abscess cavities were discovered. The daughter abscesses were removed via craniotomy. Stereotactic aspiration requires care to prevent such flare up of the disease.
