Abstract:
A 65 year old man was found to have mucormycosis cerebri during immunosuppression after treatment of hairy cell leukaemia with 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine. Although mucormycosis cerebri has a poor prognosis, the patient survived after systemic administration of high dose amphotericin B, extensive excision of the abscess, and additional local application of amphotericin B with the help of an absorbable gelatin sponge.
