Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are exceedingly rare etiological agents of intracranial infections. Among them, Mycobacterium rhodesiae stands out as an even less common pathogen. In this paper, we report the first documented case of a central nervous system (CNS) infection in humans caused by Mycobacterium rhodesiae, which has specific imaging findings and good response to the therapy by using Linezolid, Clarithromycin, and Minocycline. The diagnosis was facilitated by a comprehensive multimodal approach, incorporating multisite imaging, cerebrospinal fluid analysis via next-generation sequencing (NGS), and targeted genetic testing. Furthermore, this paper provides a derivation of the clinical characteristics observed in other documented instances of CNS infections attributable to NTM and based on a review of the current literature. Our experience contributes to the evidence that is needed to understand the full spectrum of NTM-related CNS pathologies and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary diagnostic process in atypical presentations of intracranial infections.
