Brucellar brain abscess and bilateral arachnoid cysts, unilaterally complicated by subdural haematoma.
Arachnoid cysts are benign developmental cysts that occur along the cerebrospinal axis. Brucellar abscesses in the brain are relatively uncommon, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We report here a patient with a brucellar brain abscess and bilateral arachnoid cysts (one complicated with subdural haemorrhage), who was successfully managed with craniotomy and antibiotics.
