We present a case of odontogenic brain abscesses caused by <jats:italic>S. maltophilia<\/jats:italic> in an immunocompetent patient, highlighting the rarity and complexity of such infections. A 66\u2010year\u2010old male presented with spatial\u2013temporal disorientation and left\u2010sided weakness. Radiological investigations revealed an expansive lesion in the right posterior frontal region. A craniotomy and drainage were performed, identifying <jats:italic>S. maltophilia<\/jats:italic> in the purulent material. The patient responded well to tailored antibiotic therapy. <jats:italic>S. maltophilia<\/jats:italic>\u2010related central nervous system infections are infrequent, emphasizing the need for a heightened clinical suspicion in atypical cases. This case contributes to the literature, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for successful diagnosis and
