AI Article Synopsis
- Intracranial infections from anaerobic bacteria are uncommon and hard to diagnose in labs, especially with low bacterial presence.
- This study presents a unique case of an intracranial mycotic aneurysm linked to chronic sinusitis.
- The bacteria causing this condition were successfully identified using 16S rRNA sequencing from growth in broth culture.
Article Abstract
Intracranial infection caused by anaerobic bacteria is rare, and it is difficult to identify absolute anaerobes in the clinical laboratory, especially when the bacterial load is low. Here, we report the first case of intracranial mycotic aneurysm caused by associated with chronic sinusitis and successful identification of the bacteria by 16S rRNA sequencing from bacterial growth in broth only.
