A case of subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhages complicated by trichosporonosis
View through CrossRef
Background:
Trichosporonosis has an extremely poor prognosis. In this report, we describe a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage due to a fungal aneurysm caused by Trichosporon.
Case Description:
A 71-year-old woman who experienced subcortical hemorrhage developed a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Endovascular parent artery occlusion was performed for a fungal aneurysm in the left posterior cerebral artery caused by Trichosporon. After surgery, voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B were administered. The patient died of massive left putamen hemorrhage.
Conclusion:
Effective treatment for intracranial hemorrhage due to trichosporonosis has not yet been established and an accumulation of cases is required.
