摘要：
Cunninghamella bertholletiae is an opportunistic fungi species in the order Mucorales that almost exclusively affects immunocompromised hosts. It is highly invasive and is well known for angioinvasion of surrounding vasculature. We describe a case of pulmonary Cunninghamella infection with dissemination and invasion of the anterior spinal artery causing anterior spinal artery syndrome.
