A report is presented of a patient with cerebral mucormycosis without rhinosinusal or systemic evidence of the disease. The predisposing condition was drug-induced immunosuppression. Computed tomography (CT) showed focal areas of abnormal enhancement which correlated with necropsy findings of localised parenchymal brain damage; this represented encapsulated brain abscesses, a rare form of presentation of cerebral mucormycosis.
本文报告了一例脑部毛霉菌病患者，其鼻窦或全身均无该病证据。诱发因素为药物性免疫抑制。计算机断层扫描（CT）显示局灶性异常强化区域，与局部脑实质损伤的尸检结果相符；这表现为包裹性脑脓肿，是脑部毛霉菌病一种罕见的表现形式。
