Pseudallescheria boydii infection of the brain: imaging with pathologic confirmation.

Pseudallescheria boydii is a rare opportunistic microorganism that usually infects immunosuppressed hosts. In this patient with cerebral infection by P boydii, imaging findings included enhancement of the ependyma of a lateral ventricle and of the caudate nucleus.
