Core Tip Brain abscess is a focal intracranial infection that evolves in a collection of pus. It could have cryptogenic origin in 10%-35% of cases. I present a 64-year-old woman affected by a frontal brain abscess that was surgically treated, from which Raoultella ornithinolytica (R. ornithinolytica) was isolated. The patient, after > 1 year, is doing well, except for her right eye that had already lost its visual power before surgery. This is believed to be the first case of cryptogenic cerebral abscess caused by R. ornithinolytica.
