Infectious Diseases of the Brain and Spine : Fungal Diseases

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Advances in treatments of autoimmune diseases, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, organ transplantation, and the use of long-term devices have increased the rates of atypical infections due to prolonged immune suppression. There is a significant overlap in imaging findings of various fungal infections affecting the central nervous system (CNS), often mimicking those seen in neoplastic and noninfectious inflammatory conditions. Nonetheless, there are imaging characteristics that can aid in distinguishing certain atypical infections. Hence, familiarity with a wide range of infectious agents is an important part of diagnostic neuroradiology. In this article, an in-depth review of fungal diseases of the CNS is provided.
