Our study suggests that when symptoms of central nervous system infection due to Schizophyllum sp. Upon increasing the voriconazole dose, a higher trough level was obtained and the symptoms improved. However, the symptoms exacerbated again when the trough level of voriconazole decreased. We observed improvements in both radiological findings and symptoms. Intravenous liposomal amphotericin B was started, but owing to lack of improvement, the treatment was switched to intravenous voriconazole. as the causative pathogen, consistent with the diagnosis of fungal sinusitis and hypertrophic pachymeningitis. DNA sequencing with the sinus specimen revealed Schizophyllum sp. Both pathological specimens showed findings indicative of filamentous fungi on GrocottвЂ™s staining.

Endoscopic sinus surgery and neuroendoscopic biopsy were performed to remove sinus lesions and intracranial lesions, respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor in the right sphenoidal sinus and thickening of the dura mater surrounding the right porus acusticus internus. Case presentationДЄ 69-year-old woman visited the hospital with chief complaints of headache, right trigeminal neuralgia (third branch), ataxic gait, and deafness in the right ear. Herein, we describe for the first time, a case of hypertrophic pachymeningitis due to Schizophyllum sp.

have been reported globally however, no case of hypertrophic pachymeningitis due to this pathogen has been reported yet. Sinus and lung infections due to Schizophyllum sp. can cause allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis in humans.
