Septic embolism due to urosepsis, especially with multiple septic emboli in organs other than lungs, is quite rare. A 47-year-old woman was referred to our ıntensive care unit due to uncontrolled fever, hypoxic acute respiratory failure and circulatory disorders. Urosepsis, pneumonia, acute coronary syndrome, circulatory disorders, nephrolithiasis, aortic aneurysm and acute renal failure on chronic renal failure were diagnosed. On the clinical course, multiple brain abscesses appeared. It was suggested that all clinical conditions developing after urological intervention were due to septic embolus related to urosepsis. In the presence of uncontrolled fever and sepsis following urological intervention, multiple septic emboli and abscesses should be considered. This case, which had interesting clinical features, was reported alongside related literature.
