Abstract
Whether brain abscess is a cause, or a complication of stroke has been a question that elicited differing opinions. We report a case of a child who initially presented with hemiparesis and seizures. Initial brain tomography did not show hemorrhage or infarction. He was managed as a case of childhood stroke. The neurologic manifestations gradually improved until the 17th day of hospitalization when regression of the motor strength and anisocoria occurred. A repeat brain tomography showed multiple masses and vasogenic edema consistent with brain abscess.
