Cerebellar abscess is an infrequent event, which could lead to rapid neurological deterioration if unrecognized. We present a case of multiple brain stem and Cerebellar abscesses in a previously healthy individual exposed to unpasteurized milk. This is the second case of Cerebellar abscess due to L. monocytogenes reported in the English literature. The diagnosis of L. monocytogenes was made in the surgical specimen. Our case illustrates the difficulty of early diagnosis of Cerebellar L. monocytogenes abscesses and the importance of prompt neurosurgical intervention.  ISSN : 0749-8063  Journal Name : Saudi Medical Journal  Volume : 2  Issue Number : 23  Publishing Year : 2002 AH 2002 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, March 13, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد جان jan, Mohammed Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  25929.doc doc   Back To Researches Page
