What Researchers Did
Researchers reported on a rare case of a 66-year-old man who developed a spinal subdural granuloma caused by Candida albicans.
What They Found
They found that a 66-year-old man presented with lower limb paralysis and vesicorectal disorder, with a high cerebrospinal fluid protein level but no pleocytosis. After difficult diagnosis, a widespread Candida albicans granuloma (T3-T10) was identified, and the patient survived following surgery, drug treatments, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
