Fig. 3From: Successful treatment of Aspergillus mural endocarditis in malignant lymphoma using a combined antifungal and surgical approach: a case reportPre- and postoperative chest computed tomography findings and brain magnetic resonance imaging findings. Preoperative contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography revealed nodular lung shadows with a small cavity in the left lower lobe (a—upper: arrow). Chest computed tomography performed at 3 months after surgery revealed no nodular lung shadows in the left lower lobe (a—lower). Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple bilateral rim-enhancing lesions with surrounding vasogenic edema in the left parietal lobe (b—upper: black arrow) and the cerebellum (c—upper: black arrow). The brain abscesses in the left parietal lobe (b—lower: white arrow) and cerebellum (c—lower: white arrow) had healed on the magnetic resonance imaging performed at 1 year after surgeryBack to article page
