case_images: Computed tomography (CT) of the head (Figure 1) showed a left temporal lobe mass-like lesion, with surrounding vasogenic edema.
case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain shows a septated rim-enhancing mass lesion in the left temporal lobe, with bright, restricted diffusion, and diffuse surrounding vasogenic edema (arrow).

case_images: The next day, she was subjected to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain with gadolinium contrast (Figure 2), which showed a left temporal lobe septated rim-enhancing mass lesion, with bright restricted diffusion and diffuse surrounding vasogenic edema.
case_images: Abundant neutrophils and necrotic debris.. Note: Minute fragment of brain tissue is visible in the left lower corner (hematoxylin & eosin, original magnification 20x).

case_images: Brain biopsy showed abundant acute inflammatory cells (neutrophils) and necrotic materials, consistent with abscess (Figure 3).
case_images: Two months follow-up: magnetic resonance imaging of the brain shows left-sided craniotomy changes with interval collapse of postoperative cavity and decreased surrounding edema and enhancement (arrow).

case_images: Her expressive aphasia began to improve, and follow-up MRI of the brain (Figure 4) performed after 2 months showed left-sided craniotomy changes with interval collapse of the postoperative cavity and decreased surrounding edema and enhancement.
