ABSTRACT
A 12-year-old girl was admitted to the Emergency Department with seizures and headache for 2 months. A CT scan and MRI showed a mass in the right frontal lobe with obvious mass effect. Surgery was carried out, and the resultant pathology was found to be aspergillosis. This study reports aspergillosis in an immunocompetent host following recurrent fungal otitis media. Although this condition is rare, it should be considered in patients with a history of fungal infections
