Abstract

We present a patient with an otogenic cerebellar abscess caused by Enterococcus avium, a microorganism that is a rare cause of infection in humans. The patient experienced full recovery after early needle aspiration of the abscess and surgical treatment of the primary focus. Linezolid was selected as a first-line antimicrobial drug.
