Middle and posterior fossa aspergilloma

Cerebral Vasculitis Caused by Aspergillus Simulating Ischemic Stroke in an Immunocompetent Patient

“…The cases described as being "immunocompetent" actually present factors that are traditionally associated with the cerebral form of the disease (postoperative neurosurgical patients), chronic otorhinolaryngological disease (sinusitis, otitis, or mastoiditis), or diseases that are not officially categorized as immunosuppressive, but that are associated with invasive infections by fungi (diabetes mellitus, use of illicit injectable drugs, and hepatitis C) (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”

Multiple Aspergillus Cerebellar Abscesses in a Middle-Aged Female: Case Report and Literature Review

“…The modes by which Aspergillus spreads to the CNS are hematogenous, direct, or as a primary intracranial lesion9. The etiology in our case was unknown but there were three possible causes.…”

Pontocerebellar Angle Aspergillosis

“…The first case was described in a young immunocompetent patient with a history of a purulent otitis who presented, some years later with a large middle and posterior fossa localization. 6 The second report was an aspergillar multilobular lesion in the prepontine cistern along the clivus most likely because of contamination during surgery for a cerebellar hematoma. 7 The MRI appearance of aspergillar lesions is quite variable as it depends on different factors such as the characteristics of the fungus, the immunologic status of the patient and the timing of neuroradiologic assessment.…”
