Abstract
This is a case report of a rare cerebellar abscess from which the dematiaceous fungus Cladosporium trichoides (bantianum) was isolated and tentatively identified during the patient’s lifetime. Involvement of the posterior fossa has been reported in only two other recorded cases of cladosporiosis. As is common in such cases, the portal of entry could not be determined. Despite excision of the abscess and the institution of treatment with Amphotericin B, the patient died 10 days postoperatively. There is no known effective cure for this disease.
