A case of brain abscess in the right parietal lobe secondary to pulmonary arteriovenous malformation of the right lung is presented. A 27-year-old man was admitted for headache and left homonymous hemianopsia. CAG, VAG and brain scan detected brain abscess of the right parietal lobe which was successfully removed surgically. He had been noted to have generalized cyanosis and club finger which corresponded to polycytemia and hypercapnia on examination. Subsequently pulmonary arteriovenous malformation was found in the right lower lobe of the lung which was also successfully excised by thoracic surgeons. Brain abscess was caused by peptostreptococcus anaerobius.
