Cladophialophora bantiana is a dematiceous fungus with neurotrophic propensity for which therapy is not standardized and mortality is high. We report here a 49 year old non-diabetic renal transplant patient on triple immunosuppressant therapy who presented with a history of falls, weakness and headaches. A computed tomography scan of the brain revealed a 30 mm diameter abscess in the brain which was removed surgically and diagnosed on culture as C. bantiana. The patient was successfully treated medically post-operatively with chronic posaconazole. We review the literature regarding central nervous system infections due to C. bantiana.
