Abstract
- The authors report a rare case of multiple brain abscesses caused by aspergillus. The patient was immunologically competent and apparently normal status without any predisposing factors. Because these abscesses were not controlled by stereotactic biopsy and subsequent amphotericin B, it required surgical excision and postoperative combination therapy of antifungal agents for residual small abscess. The clinical course, usefulness of multiple therapeutic strategies, and the outcome are presented.
