Abstract

A 14-year-old girl with a rare form of fungal brain abscess involving the dura and brain parenchyma is reported. No portal of entry of the infection was found. Histological findings and fungal culture both indicated that the causative agent was Xylohypha bantiana, an uncommon dematiaceous fungus. A review of the literature suggests that this infection, which affects primarily young male patients, exhibits distinct neurotropism. Despite therapy, the prognosis is generally poor.
