[MR imaging in paranasal and intracranial aspergillosis].
The MR findings in three patients with paranasal and intracranial aspergillosis were analyzed. Two patients had sphenoid sinus aspergillosis with mucocele, and one had aspergillosis in the maxillary sinus and pachymeningitis in the posterior fossa. In all patients with aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses, a markedly hypointense area was present within the lesion on T2-weighted images. In the patient with pachymeningitis, contrast-enhanced MR images clearly demonstrated the extent of the lesion.
