He had experienced headache, vomiting and right hemiparesis, which progressed to somnolence and confusion. Brain computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance image(MRI) demonstrated a left thalamic ring-enhanced lesion. The purulent material was drained and subtotal excision was done with a transcallosal transventricular craniotomy. Concomitant systemic antibiotics therapy was a dministered.
