摘要：

Fusobacterium nucleatum is an anaerobic gram-negative organism regarded as an oral commensal. We present a case of a 63-year-old male presenting with weakness, encephalopathy and right upper quadrant palpable mass found to have F. nucleatum liver abscess with innumerable intracranial abscesses. F. nucleatum is a rare cause of concomitant liver and brain abscesses associated with odontogenic infection with potentially fatal outcomes.
