Abstract
Midbrain abscess is an uncommon pathology, especially in paediatric patients. Establishing a guideline for managing brain-stem abscesses is not yet well described, as few paediatrics patients have been treated for this central nervous system infection type. A 3-year-old boy was admitted for facial paralysis. A brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a brain-stem abscess. He was put on Teicoplanin and cephalosporin third generation for four weeks, with favourable evolution. The prognosis in paediatric brain-stem abscesses is generally favourable. Most patients recover with minor neurologic deficits or improve ultimately.
