چکیده
Background: Invasive aspergillosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunosuppressed patients. Thisn infection is caused by Aspergillus, a hyaline mold, which is the etiologic agent for many different manifestations. Conclusion: It is important to consider fungal infection as a differential diagnosis of cerebral lesions even in the immunocompetent hosts. The clinical presentation of cerebral aspergillosis is nonspecific and is characterized by focal neurologic signs, alteration in mental status and headache.
