A rare case of diffuse intracranial aspergillosis masquerading as skull base meningioma in an immunocompetent patient.

Intracranial aspergillosis is rare in immunocompetent patients. Its presentation is subtle, often without any diagnostic characteristics, and is frequently mistaken for tuberculous meningitis, pyogenic abscess, or a space-occupying lesion. The authors report a case of diffuse intracranial aspergillosis, in an immunocompetent 34-year-old male, that mimicked a meningioma on preoperative imaging. The origin, clinical course, radiological features, histopathological findings, and surgical treatment are discussed based on review of literature.
