Abstract
|
|
|
|
Invasive aspergillosis usually does not occur in immunocompetent patients. Recently, however, the incidence of invasive aspergillosis has been increasing in immunologically competent patients. It is difficult to diagnose neuroaspergillosis because of its varied radiological findings and clinical manifestations. We report a case of aspergillosis of the central nervous system, presenting as a mass-like lesion, in an immunocompetent patient. The patient was diagnosed after a surgical biopsy and treated with antifungal agents. The clinical outcome was good.
