Overview
Brain abscesses commonly occur when bacteria or fungi infect part of the brain. The source of the infection is often not found. However, the most common source is a lung infection. The germs that cause a brain abscess usually reach the brain through the blood. Less often, a heart infection is to blame. Germs may also travel from a nearby infected area (for example, an ear infection) or enter the body during an injury (such as a gun or knife wound) or surgery. In children with heart disease or a birth defect, such as those with tetralogy of fallot, infections are more able to reach the brain from the intestines, teeth, or other body areas.
