“…Closest differential diagnosis to bacterial abscess is cystic glioma and cystic metastasis, radiologically they can be distinguished by ADC values and DWI sequence, where bacterial abscess features higher diffusion restriction on DWI and lower ADC values, whereas neoplastic etiology usually features moderate diffusion restriction and higher ADC values.

Background: Extra axial abscess of the brain is a rare entity, moreover, extra-axial abscess concomitant with intraparenchymal purulent collections are scarcely reported in the literature. Etiology includes penetrating trauma, paranasal sinusitis, mastoiditis, craniospinal surgeries, and the rare spread of infectious agents through the hematogenous route. Case description: We present a case of a young male with Burkholderia pseudomallei Central Nervous System (CNS) melioidosis, forming abscesses in extra-axial and intraparenchymal planes without contiguity. Conclusion: This is to emphasize the importance of MR spectroscopy and other convenient methods in differentiating the etiology in cranial infections.
