Gas-producing brain abscess.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;15(3):176-7.

A case of a known psychiatric patient who presented with rapid neurological deterioration is reported. Neuroimaging revealed a gas-producing brain abscess in left parietal lobe with a contiguous focus of infection in the adjacent bone and scalp initiated by obsessive scalp scratching. On complete surgical excision of abscess, followed by culturebased antibiotic therapy, a good neurological recovery was achieved with minimal residual deficits at follow-up.
