Only eight cases of <jats:italic>Salmonella enteritidis<\/jats:italic> infection following intracranial surgery for brain tumor have been reported to date. We describe a unique case of both subgaleal and brain abscesses caused by <jats:italic>S. enteritidis<\/jats:italic> following craniotomy for a parafalcine giant cell glioblastoma multiforme. A literature review of the previously published cases is also provided.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 36-year-old previously healthy man presented with a posterior parietal parafalcine giant cell glioblastoma multiforme. 5 weeks after craniotomy for tumor resection, the patient presented with worsening headache and painful swelling at the cranial operative site. Head computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed both scalp and brain abscesses in the previous surgical site. He was treated with aspiration of the subgaleal abscess and ciprofloxacin antibiotic therapy; he made a full recovery. Cultures of the aspirate identified <jats:italic>S. enteritidis<\/jats:italic>, although the primary site of infection was not detected.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Although postoperative <jats:italic>S. enteritidis<\/jats:italic> infections are rare, the large numbers of patients with malignant brain tumors who require tumor resections and receive corticosteroids are at great risk. Adequate drainage (if possible), early isolation of the pathogens, and control of the infection by antibiotic therapy guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing are vital components to prevent this potentially fatal condition.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni-31-2019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,13]],"date-time":"2019-04-13T06:19:01Z","timestamp":1555136341000},"page":"37","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Subgaleal and brain abscesses due to <i>Salmonella enteritidis<\/i> following craniotomy for giant cell glioblastoma multiforme: A case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Akhaddar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Avicenne Military Hospital of Marrakech, Marrakech and Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Walter","family":"Hall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, State University of New York (SUNY), Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, New York, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Boucetta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Avicenne Military Hospital of Marrakech, Marrakech and Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI-31-2019\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"547","DOI":"10.1016\/S0028-3770(06)71365-0","article-title":"Postoperative meningitis caused by an unusual etiological agent Salmonella enteritidis","volume":"52","author":"Aissaoui","year":"2006","journal-title":"Neurochirurgie"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI-31-2019\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"483","DOI":"10.1089\/sur.2009.031","article-title":"Brain abscess as a complication of intranasal ethmoidectomy for sinonasal polyposis","volume":"11","author":"Akhaddar","year":"2010","journal-title":"Surg Infect (Larchmt)"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI-31-2019\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-60086-4_21","article-title":"Surgical site infections in cranial surgery","volume-title":"Atlas of Infections in Neurosurgery and Spinal surgery","author":"Akhaddar","year":"2017"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI-31-2019\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7131","DOI":"10.1186\/1757-1626-2-7131","article-title":"Brain abscess and epidural empyema caused by Salmonella enteritidis in a child: Successful treatment with ciprofloxacin: A case report","volume":"2","author":"Bl\u00e1zquez","year":"2009","journal-title":"Cases J"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI-31-2019\/ref-5","first-page":"130","article-title":"Postoperative brain abscess caused by Salmonella enteritidis","volume":"22","author":"Bossi","year":"1993","journal-title":"Presse Med"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI-31-2019\/ref-6","first-page":"1095","article-title":"Salmonella epidural abscess in sickle cell disease: Failure of the nonsurgical treatment","volume":"95","author":"Diebold","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Natl Med Assoc"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI-31-2019\/ref-7","first-page":"309","article-title":"Salmonella enteritidis multifocal infection of the central nervous system.
