      <Abstract>Parvimonas Micra is an anaerobic gram-positive coccus, usually found in the human oral mucosa. We present a case of cerebral abscess provoked by Parvimonas Micra, an infrequent agent for this pathology, in an 85-year-old immunocompetent man with progressive onset left hemiparesis. The diagnosis was realized through the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical options are aspiration or total removal of the abscess. Each of the options has associated advantages and disadvantages. In our case we decided to perform a craniotomy to the drainage of the pus and the removal of the capsule from the abscess. After the neurosurgical intervention and collection of purulent contents, the pathologic microorganism could be identified. For complement the treatment, antibiotics were administered. The patient__ampersandsign#39;s clinic clearly improved after the surgical and medical management, complemented by motor rehabilitation plan. The treatments applied to this patient were effective, with a progressively favorable evolution of the clinical status.</Abstract>
