Abstract
A 75-year-old female patient with poorly-controlled diabetes who developed rhino-cerebral mucormycossi and acute stroke is reported. The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed acute stroke in the territory of left anterior cerebral artery territory and corresponding steno-occlusive lesion on MR angiography. Proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) of her brain was obtained with chemical shift imaging, which revealed increased choline peak at 3.2 ppm and a succinate peak at 2.4 ppm. This was not usually present in patients with stroke. Cerebritis caused by mucormycosis may be diagnosed with the aid of MRS.
