Abstract:
Cladophialophora bantiana is a neurotropic dematiaceous fungus known for affecting
immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. We report a case of 24 year old immuno-
competent male presenting with headache, fever and vomiting. MRI was suggestive of multiple
fungal brain abscesses. He underwent total excision of abscesses. Pus culture was suggestive of
brain abscess caused by C. bantiana. We report a culture proven case of C. bantiana emphasizing
on specific MRI features which are critical in differentiating fungal from nonfungal brain
abscesses.
