title: Invasion of a subcutaneous Aspergillus abscess into the brain.
abstract: We present the case of a 57 year old woman with contiguous infection by Aspergillus fumigatus. The lesion started subcutaneously, forming an abscess. Seventeen days later we observed an intracranial abscess, infection of the frontal sinus and destruction of the frontal bone between the subcutaneous abscess and the sinus.
