INTRODUCTION: Brain abscess is a serious condition in children, leading to rapid deterioration, and permanent neurological damage associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Current management protocols for brain abscesses focus on intravenous antibiotics and surgical excision and drainage. CASE PRESENTATION: A 12-year-old adolescent male who had headache and photophobia and was diagnosed with multiple brain abscesses and was refractory to conventional medical and neurosurgical intervention. A single dose of 10 mg vancomycin was administered through endo-ventricular drain, resulting in resolution of abscesses and alleviation of symptoms. CONCLUSION: We describe the first instance of intraventricular vancomycin use in the pediatric age group for the treatment of multiple brain abscesses. Given the variability in dosing reported in the literature, our case report warrants further studies to standardize dosage for this rare intervention.
