It is highly implicated in urinary tract infections, wound infections, and septicemia. The cerebral nervous system, especially brain abscess attributed to <jats:italic>M. morganii<\/jats:italic>, remains extremely rare. To the best of the author\u2019s knowledge, only eight documented cerebral brain abscesses caused by <jats:italic>M. morganii<\/jats:italic> have been reported in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 48-year-old man presented with headache, fever, and irritability two months after endoscopic endonasal repair of the cranial base defect. Following imaging studies, a large left frontal abscess was found. The patient underwent a fine-needle aspiration through a burr hole following antimicrobial therapy.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We report this case to create awareness among neurosurgeons and microbiologists that <jats:italic>M. morganii<\/jats:italic>, even though uncommon, is a cause of cerebral brain abscess.
