Acute chiasmal abscess resulting from perineural extension of invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient.
World Neurosurgery, 2013Co-Authors: Ilya M. Leyngold, Alessandro Olivi, Masaru Ishii, Ari M. Blitz, Peter C. Burger, Prem S. Subramanian, Gary L. GalliaAbstract:Objective Intracranially invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis is a rare entity seen predominantly in immunocompromised individuals. We report a unique case of an acute chiasmal abscess resulting from perineural extension of an indolent invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient. Case Description A 61-year-old healthy Ukrainian man presented with severe left retro-orbital pain and a gradual ipsilateral monocular vision loss with rapid progression to a contralateral temporal visual field cut. He was found to have an intracranially invasive sino-orbital Aspergillus fumigatus infection with perineural extension along the optic nerve complicated by an acute chiasmal abscess. Results The patient was managed with surgical debridement and adjuvant Antifungal Chemotherapy. The patient’s life and vision were preserved. Conclusions The case demonstrates that it is possible to successfully control advanced intracranial aspergillosis with tissue-sparing surgery and adjuvant Antifungal Chemotherapy in immunocompetent individuals.

Successful treatment of Aspergillus peritonitis in an adult on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Nephron, 1991Co-Authors: Margaret Stein, Jerome F. Levine, William BlackAbstract:This report describes the first successful treatment of an adult on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis with Aspergillus peritonitis. The published literature is also reviewed. Early removal of the peritoneal catheter combined with Antifungal Chemotherapy appear to be necessary for cure in patients with this disease.

Tricuspid valve repair in an infant with multiple obstructive Candida mycetomas
The Annals of thoracic surgery, 2005Co-Authors: Giovanni Battista Luciani, Gianluca Casali, Francesca Viscardi, Simona Marcora, M. A. Prioli, Alessandro MazzuccoAbstract:Neonatal fungal valve endocarditis is an uncommon and highly lethal disease. The ideal management strategy is still controversial. Current options include Antifungal Chemotherapy and surgical intervention, the latter being often limited by risks inherent with valve operations in low body weight infants. We present a case of a premature infant with mutliple Candida tricuspid valve mycetomas. Eradication of infection was achieved by combined liposomal amphotericin therapy and complex tricuspid valve repair. Indications, technical aspects, and outcome of treatment in infants are reviewed.
