Abstract

A 31-year-old man, with no past medical history, presented with headaches, sudden loss of vision, right exophtalmia, bilateral papilledema, and fever. Brain imaging noted a right basi-temporal lesion. Excision of the lesion was performed. The histological examination noted a glial tissue with acute inflammatory changes and multinucleated giant cells. Within this infiltrate there were septate and branched hyphae consistent with aspergillosis. These filaments were stained with PAS. The patient died post-operatively.
