摘要：

A 6-year-old boy esophageal stricture due to the ingestion of caustic 7 months prior to admission. Eight esophageal dilations and a feeding gastrostomy were performed. He presented with seizure, right-sided weakness, fever, and somnolence. Computed tomographic scans revealed multiple brain abscesses. The abscesses were treated by burr-hole drainage. The patient improved and was discharged from the hospital without neurological deficit. Brain abscesses are not very common following esophageal dilation. It should be kept in mind that brain abscess is a potential complication of esophageal dilation.
