We report an interesting and rare case of hemispheric multiple brain abscesses due to Scedosporium apiospermum which developed following neurosurgery and mimicked hemiconvulsion hemiplegia epilepsy syndrome on initial scans. Interestingly all the abscesses were only on the right side of cerebral hemisphere which later on spread to the other side. All the lesions had hemorrhagic walls seen as hypointensities on susceptibility weighted imaging. The patient succumbed to this fatal fungal brain infection.
