چکیده

Eumycetoma is a chronic granulomatous infection of fungal origin characterized by extensive subcutaneous nodules, associated with sinuses draining pus, blood, and fungal grains. Although commonly depicted as “Madura foot” because of its affinity for lower extremities, other parts such as the hand, back, perineum, and paranasal sinus are also frequently affected. Craniocerebral involvement by this fungus involving the scalp, skull bone, and brain is very uncommon and restricted to few case reports in medical literature. The story of a small infective focus over scalp, which gradually progressed to cause disastrous effect in the skull bone, dura, and brain, resulting in hemiparesis with intractable seizure, is depicted in this case report with review of literature.
