A 35‐year‐old woman with severe cystic fibrosis was admitted for sudden loss of strength in both legs, revealing a myelitis. The medullary lesion biopsy revealed phaeohyphomycosis caused by C ladophialophora species. Myelitis caused by C ladophialophora bantiana is a rare disease associated with high mortality.
