Abstract:
We report a patient with a cerebral cryptococcal granuloma who presented with recent memory disturbance and deteriorating mental status followed by temporary loss of consciousness. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a cerebral cryptococcal granuloma examined by a combination of conventional MRI, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and diffusion-weighted imaging and in which the surgical specimen was analysed histochemically.
