dc.description.abstract Described here is a case of Pseudallescheria boydii cranial osteomyelitis and subdural empyema following craniotomy, which was successfully treated with surgical debridement and voriconazole. Other reported cases of Pseudallescheria boydii osteomyelitis are reviewed. The reported case suggests that voriconazole may represent a new therapeutic option for this infection. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
