CABALLERO GARCETE, Ricardo et al. Meningioma Meningotelial cerebellar complicated with unique abscess to Nocardia. An. Fac. Cienc. Méd. (Asunción) [online]. 2023, vol.56, n.1, pp.109-112. ISSN 1816-8949.  https://doi.org/10.18004/anales/2023.056.01.109.

The presentation of cerebral abscesses related to meningiomas is very rare. They are usually caused by common bacteria, nocardia being an exceptional etiological agent. We present the first description in Paraguay of a cerebral abscess to Nocardia spp associated meningioma in an immunocompromised patient for prolonged corticosteroid consumption (dexamethasone).

Keywords : Nocardia spp; Meningioma; brain abscess associated with tumor..
