Abstract

This report describes a patient with intracranial Aspergillus flavus infection in whom it was impossible to remove the fungal mass surgically. Progressive fungal infiltration of the optic nerves was reversed and the extensive intracranial fungal burden was managed successfully with combination antifungal-immunomodulatory therapy alone.
