Invasive central nervous system (CNS) aspergillosis is acquired by either hematogenous dissemination or direct spread from a sinus infection. We describe a series of nine patients with CNS aspergillosis from a tertiary care teaching institute in North India who were treated with voriconazole alone or in combination with surgery. All patients who had clinical and radiological features consistent with fungal CNS infection, showed the presence of septate hyphae on histopathology/microscopy and were either culture positive for Aspergillus spp. or had serum galactomannan positivity were diagnosed as CNS aspergillosis. Clinical features, risk factors, diagnostic modalities, treatment details and outcome at last follow-up were recorded for all patients diagnosed with CNS aspergillosis. A total of nine patients were diagnosed with CNS aspergillosis. The median duration of presentation at our hospital was six months (IQR-2-9 months). Six patients had concomitant sinus involvement, while two patients had skull-base involvement as well. All patients were treated with voriconazole therapy, and three of these patients underwent surgery. All but one patient survived at the last follow-up (median duration was 14 months (IQR- 8-21.5). Two patients had complete resolution, and voriconazole was stopped at the last follow-up, and the rest of the patients were continued on voriconazole. Of the six patients who were continued on voriconazole, all but one had more than 50% radiological resolution on follow-up imaging. Invasive CNS aspergillosis is an important cause of CNS fungal infection that is often diagnosed late and requires long-term voriconazole-based therapy.
