Aspergillus infection is invasive in nature in the immunosuppressed population and disseminates throughout the body, with the brain being a common site. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) play a life-saving role in the early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of this potentially fatal infection. We present MRI, DWI, and MRS findings of a case of central nervous system aspergillosis with treatment follow-up.
曲霉感染在免疫抑制人群中具有侵袭性,可播散至全身,脑部是常见受累部位。传统磁共振成像(MRI)联合弥散加权成像(DWI)和磁共振波谱(MRS)在这种潜在致命感染的早期诊断和治疗监测中发挥着挽救生命的作用。我们展示了一例中枢神经系统曲霉病的MRI、DWI和MRS表现及治疗随访情况。
