Aqueductal stenosis has a new dimention-‘Aspergillosis’: A rare case report and review of literature
Publication date: Available online 14 May 2015 Source:World Neurosurgery Author(s): Soubhagya Ranjan Tripathy , Sudhanshu Sekhar Mishra , Rama Chandra Deo , Itibrata Mohanta , Kalpalata Tripathy Background Cerebral aspergillosis, often encountered in an immunocompromised setting, is almost uniformly fatal despite radical surgical and medical management, and is frequently a necropsy finding. Attempts at fungal isolation are often unrewarding and a high index of radiological suspicion is essential. Case Description An infant of 5 months old with progressive increase in head size since birth, delayed developmental mileston...

Neuroinfections caused by fungi
ConclusionAlthough the number of fungal species causing CNS mycosis is increasing, only some possess well-defined treatment standards (e.g., cryptococcal meningitis and CNS aspergillosis). The early diagnosis of fungal infection, accompanied by identification of the etiological factor, is needed to allow the selection of effective therapy in patients with FIs-CNS and limit their high mortality.

Fungal mycotic aneurysm in a patient with Aspergillus terreus chronic meningoencephalitis.
Conclusion: Cerebral aspergillosis is a serious disease with high mortality in patients, particularly those without identifiable risk factors. The iatrogenic forms are serious, due to the delay of clinical diagnosis. It is important to have a high index of suspicion in patients with a history of invasive procedures such as epidural anesthesia or surgery, and who develop a persistent chronic headache or chronic meningitis.

CARD9 Mutation in a Patient with Candida albicans Meningoencephalitis; A Case Report
In conclusion, this case was presented to emphasize the consideration of CARD9 deficiency in case of persistent invasive fungal infection or recurrent invasive fungal infection after treatment despite effective antifungal treatment in children and adults who do not have known risk factors for invasive fungal infections.PMID:34666665 | DOI:10.5578/mb.20219717
