Scedosporium apiospermum is a fungus found in the soil and in contaminated water and commonly cause cutaneous infections and is a rare cause of central nervous system infection. Invasive infection is usually associated with immunosuppresion. The authors present a 73-year-old woman with chronic renal disease who presented with headache for 2 weeks. Computerized tomography scans revealed a ring-enhancing lesion in left temporal lobe. An urgent craniotomy was performed and the lesion was totally removed. The patient died 5 days later. Scedosporium apiospermum was isolated in the culture of the extirpated lesion. The authors review the previously reported cases of brain abscess for Scedosporium apiospermum. |
