Neonatal fungal ventriculitis.
Intracranial fungal infection is increasingly seen in the neonatal intensive care setting, with premature infants at greatest risk. We report a case of fungal ventriculitis in an extremely low birth weight neonate due to Candida species. Cranial sonographic examination revealed extensive ventricular stranding with complete resolution in response to therapy.
