Abstract

Background: The objective of this study is to investigate and understand the characteristics of odontogenic brain abscess. Methods: A case of brain abscess suspected to be caused by odontogenic infection was documented, and a comprehensive analysis and summary of odontogenic brain abscess cases reported in various countries over the past 20 years was conducted. Results: Based on the analysis and synthesis of both the present and previous reports, we have examined and consolidated the distinctive features of odontogenic brain abscess, the potential transmission pathway of pathogenic bacteria, diagnostic assertions, verification techniques, and crucial considerations during treatment. Conclusion: This investigation contributes to an enhanced comprehension and improved clinical identification of odontogenic brain abscess.
