Summary:CEREBRAL aspergillosis is a rare and severe disorder with rapid progressive pathogenesis, and commonly seen in immunocompromised patients. 1 Typical cerebral aspergillosis presentsabscess with ring enhancement or cortical or subcortical infactions on magnetic resonance (MR) images. In this communication, we describe a rare cerebral aspergillosis with relative characteristic MR imaging findings.
