摘要

Cerebral abscesses caused by Listeria monocytogenes are very rare and mainly occur in immunocompromised and elderly patients. Brain abscesses caused by Listeria monocytogenes are characterized by a typical tunnel-like appearance, which may be considered a pathognomonic MRI feature and is thought to be the result of intra-axonal spread of the pathogen.
