case_images: Imaging changes documented the alleviation of brain lesions during the timeline of treatment (a) The initial image of brain MRI at external healthcare center, and the section that indicated by red arrow represented intracranial space-occupying lesions. (b) The image of brain MRI before surgery in our hospital, the region that indicated by red arrows suggested further exacerbation of brain lesion. (c) The image of brain MRI in early postoperative, the region that indicated by red arrow documented the removal of cerebral abscess and existence of perilesional edema. (d) The brain CT scan of day 25 after surgery, documented recovered well of brain lesions without a relapse.

case_images: She was diagnosed as intracranial space-occupying lesions at Pinghu hospital of traditional Chinese medicine through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning (Figure 1a). The further extending of brain lesions was reflected by the images of brain MRI showing a space-occupying rounded lesion in left parietal and abnormal signal in the right frontal lobe (Figure 1b). Postoperatively, the decreased hypointense image in left parietal lesion and surrounding loch were observed through MRI that indicating the removal of lesions and the existence of perilesional edema (Figure 1c). Then brain computed tomography (CT) 25 days after surgery documented the complete removal of lesions (Figure 1d).
case_images: Microbiology detection of N. gipuzkoensis. (a) The traditional culture of cerebral abscess with the pale yellow, rough, and dry colonies on Columbia Blood Agar medium. (b) The characteristic of weakly acid-fast was identified by acid-fast staining.
