A case is reported of occipital lobe abscess complicated with purulent meningitis in a boy aged 16 years with Fallot's syndrome. The authors stress the necessity of taking into consideration the possibility of this complication in cases of congenital heart diseases and describe diagnostic difficulties due to scant signs of the abscess despite its large size.
