We present a case of disseminated intracranial infection by Candida albicans in a 5-year-old girl who had fever and a change of consciousness after surgery for complex congenital heart malformation. MR imaging revealed multiple small ring-enhancing hemorrhagic abscesses. One year after antifungal treatment, the abscesses and ventriculomegaly were almost completely resolved. The patient was discharged in a stable but vegetative condition. |
