Neurosurgical management of multiple intracranial Nocardia and Enterococcus abscesses in an immunocompetent patient

Abstract

Nocardia farcinica and Enterococcus faecium are both rare causes of cerebral abscess. The former is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We describe a neurosurgical approach to the management of multiple intracranial abscesses of dual microbial pathology in an immunocompetent patient to achieve a good outcome.
