We present the case of a 22-year-old patient with no morbid history who developed a brain abscess secondary to endocarditis due to Eikenella corrodens. The diagnosis was established by detecting the microorganism by universal polymerase chain reaction in fluid from the brain collection. Trans-esophageal echocardiogram study confirmed vegetations in the mitral valve. External ventricular shunt placement was required due to emptying of abscess to brain ventricles and secondary hydrocephalus. He received 80 days of effective antibiotic treatment and his evolution was favorable with complete resolution of his infection verified with images and echocardiogram. Follow-up at seven months later due to ventricule-peritoneal drainage valve dysfunction did not confirmed infection.
