A case of a brain abscess which ruptured into the lateral ventricle was reported. A 51-year-old left-handed male was admitted because of lethargy, motor aphasia, and left hemiparesis. Findings of impending intraventricular rupture prompted emergency right frontoparietal craniectomy with external drainage of the abscess cavity. His immediate post-operative condition was poor with findings of intraventricular rupture by CT scan and by plain skull X-rays. With intensive antibiotic therapy, however, his condition gradually improved. CT scan 28 days post-operatively showed a small residual cavity. Forty-nine days post-operatively, this cavity completely resolved. There has been no sign of recurrence. The authors reviewed the literature and discussed recent therapeutic trends.
