Intracranial Rhizomucor Pusillus Mucormycosis in an Adolescent Triggering a Stroke Alert: A Case Report and a Systematic Review of Pediatric Cases.
Mucormycosis is a rare, life-threatening opportunistic infection primarily affecting immunocompromised patients. The available literature on Rhizomucor pusillus(R pusillus) infections of the central nervous system (CNS) in children is very limited. We present the case of an immunocompromised adolescent with intracranial mucormycosis due to R pusillus manifesting with stroke-like symptoms. This case highlights this rare condition's diagnostic complexity and management challenges. We include a review of the available literature on pediatric R pusillus CNS infections to increase awareness among health care providers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Child Neurology (JCN) embraces peer-reviewed clinical and investigative studies from a wide-variety of neuroscience disciplines. Focusing on the needs of neurologic patients from birth to age 18 years, JCN covers topics ranging from assessment of new and changing therapies and procedures; diagnosis, evaluation, and management of neurologic, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders; and pathophysiology of central nervous system diseases.
