Streptococcus intermedius is considered as a commensal of the oropharynx, but can be a source of serious infections. We report a case of cerebral abscess in a young man of 18 years, who was admitted to the emergency room for consciousness disorder, and whose cerebral CT showed a frontal mass evoking the diagnosis of abscess. Diagnosis was confirmed by bacteriological examination of puncture fluid which was in favor of Streptococcus intermedius abscess.
