Medical treatment of brain aspergilloma followed by MRI: A case report.

ABSTRACT: This is a brain aspergilloma case in an immunocompetent patient who suffered from a rare fungal infection transmitted from the mediastinum to the brain and eventually caused pancreatitis. This fungal infection affected the thalamus, hypothalamus, and extended to the midbrain. This case showed a good prognosis for the brain aspergilloma without need for any surgical intervention. The radiological documentation for the brain aspergilloma shows a positive response to a combination of voriconazole and Keppra.
