A 29-year-old man was referred to our department because of swelling and pain of the left cheek. Initially, incision and drainage was performed under the diagnosis of phlegmon of the left cheek caused by 8 acute periodontitis. The patient had convulsive seizures after 3 days. CT demonstrated an unclear low density area of the left lateral lobe. The patient was given a diagnosis of brain abscess caused by odontogenic infection ad was given antibiotics and antiepileptics. A CT scan obtained 1 month after convulsive seizures demonstrated disappearance of the low density area in the left lateral lobe.
