ABSTRACT
The classic clinical manifestations of bronchiectasis are cough and daily production of purulent sputum for months to years. The most common complications are hemoptysis and respiratory failure. Brain abscess has become rare in the recent antibiotic era. In this report, we present a case of bronchiectasis complicated by brain abscesses. Despite the early diagnosis and appropriate management, and while the condition of the patient was improving, an intraventricular abscess rupture led to rapid coma then death. Presentation and management of this potentially fatal complication of bronchiectasis are discussed
