| Abstract |
We read with interest the recent articles by Hersh et al (1) on 'Optic neuropathy and stroke secondary to invasive aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient' and by Zhou et al (2) on 'Apical orbital aspergillosis complicating giant cell arteritis.' We present a case of invasive aspergillosis, in which the diagnosis was delayed because of a protracted clinical course and neuroimaging findings suggestive of a sphenoid wing meningioma. |
