Abstract

The authors describe a case of aspergillosis with carotid-cavernous sinus thrombosis diagnosed by use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI may aid in early detection of intracranial fungal infection and potentially help decrease morbidity and mortality through the institution of early medical and surgical therapy.
