Abstract
This is a case of a 33-year-old male complaining of severe headache, neck pain, photophobia, vomiting and high-grade fever of several days. He had history of nasal polyp removal and recurrent sinusitis in the last 8 years. On examination: conscious with glasco coma scale (GCS) 15/15 and normal limbs strength but with positive Babinski sign. For further observation, he was admitted and full work-up was done. Even though full empirical antibiotics were started, there was no immediate improvement and he deteriorated dramatically developing ocular deficit, hydrocephalus and lower level of consciousness with multiple infarctions found at different areas in brain. After that point, a decompressive craniectomy was done, and multiple antibiotics and antifungal medications were prescribed. However, he deteriorated to GCS 3/15; cardiopulmonary resuscitations were not successful, as he demised next day. It shall be noted that aspergillosis can lead to difficult complications, so diagnosis and treatments should not be delayed.
