A brain abscess following hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage is extremely rare in the late period. Brain abscess is an uncommon and serious infection of the parenchyma, which requires administration of high-dose antibiotics and surgical drainage. The mortality rate is 5-15%, although it can increase up to 80% due to incorrect diagnosis, inappropriate antibiotic therapy or rupture of the abscess. In this study, we present a case of brain abscess, which developed after hypertensive putaminal hemorrhage. This case demonstrates that brain abscess may occur in a previous hemorrhage area as a complication of systemic infection. Recognition of the risk is important for early diagnosis and proper treatment of this potentially fatal complication of hemorrhage.
