In this report, we describe a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage due to a fungal aneurysm caused by Trichosporon. Case Description: A 71-year-old woman who experienced subcortical hemorrhage developed a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Endovascular parent artery occlusion was performed for a fungal aneurysm in the left posterior cerebral artery caused by Trichosporon. After surgery, voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B were administered. The patient died of massive left putamen hemorrhage. Conclusion: Effective treatment for intracranial hemorrhage due to trichosporonosis has not yet been established and an accumulation of cases is required.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/c444c191-eaab-4696-bfe7-7496602d4274/featured/hero-1781560873913.png","publishDate":"2022-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_780_2022","categories":["Infection","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/c444c191-eaab-4696-bfe7-7496602d4274/pdf"}
