厌氧性脑室炎是罕见的，通常见于有诱发因素的患者，如中耳炎，乳突炎，鼻窦炎或最近的神经外科手术。我们报告我们认为是第一例脑室炎和脑脓肿由于梭杆菌核感染的男子没有显着的诱发因素。他成功地接受了抗生素治疗。
Anaerobic ventriculitis is rare, and usually seen in patients with predisposing factors such as otitis media, mastoiditis, sinusitis or recent neurosurgery. We report what we believe to be the first case of ventriculitis and brain abscess due to Fusobacterium nucleatum infection in a man with no significant predisposing factors. He was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy.
