Abstract
Aspergillus species is a fungus that causes invasive diseases with high mortality in immunosuppressed patients. We present a case of the central nervous system aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient. A 27-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with complaints of headache and visual disturbance. He was a known case of fungal sinusitis and used to inhale opium. In cranial magnetic resonance imaging, a mass lesion in the right frontal lobe was observed. The pathology result was in favor of the aspergillus infection. The substance abuse by inhalation is considered a possible route of fungal entry, especially in the immunocompetent patient.
