Abstract

Brain abscesses are usually seen post surgery and trauma. Brain abscesses are described as a rare complication of bronchieactasis and are usually solitary.We present a case of 42 year old male who had developed bronchiectasis as a sequelae to pulmonary tuberculosis and presented to us with a right facio-brachial monoparesis. Neuro-imaging showed multiple cerebral abscesses which were managed both surgically and with antibiotics.
