Neurocandidiasis: A Case Report and Consideration of the Causes of Restricted Diffusion
Radiology Cases 7:1-5, Lin, D.J.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We present a case of central nervous system (CNS) candidiasis presenting radiographically as bilateral punctate areas of restricted magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion in the basal ganglia. This case illustrates the value of carefully considering the causes of restricted diffusion in the brain, notably to be broader than acute stroke and to include invasive fungal infections.
