title: MRI findings and encouraging fluconazole treatment results of intracranial Cladosporium trichoides infection.
abstract: The authors report on a 31-year-old male patient harboring multiple intracranial mass lesions which proved histologically to be due to infection with Cladosporium trichoides upon removal of one of the lesions. Aggressive antifungal chemotherapy with fluconazole (400 mg/d for 3 months) in combination with surgery resulted in good clinical and radiologic outcome which prompted us to report this case.
