Cerebral aspergillosis has the tendency to occur in immunocompromised patients. Less commonly, immunocompetent individuals can be affected, with neuroimaging findings being difficult to interpret. The diagnosis necessitates imaging of the brain as well as the sinuses with biopsy and pathological confirmation. A surgical excision with aggressive antifungal agents are required for a proper management. This case report describes an immunocompetent patient with cerebral aspergillosis that presented radiologically as a suspicious mass to be diagnosed pathologically and excised surgically.
脑曲霉病倾向于发生在免疫功能低下的患者中。较少见的是,免疫功能正常的个体也可能受到影响,其神经影像学表现难以解读。诊断需要对脑部和鼻窦进行影像学检查,并通过活检和病理证实。恰当的治疗需要手术切除并积极使用抗真菌药物。本病例报告描述了一名免疫功能正常的脑曲霉病患者,其影像学表现为可疑肿块,经病理诊断后进行了手术切除。
