Cerebral cryptococcosis: atypical appearances on CT.

M Awasthi1, T Patankar, P Shah, M Castillo.   

Abstract

Cryptococcal infection is common in immunocompromised patients, often presenting with meningitis or meningoencephalitis. We report an unusual presentation of cryptococcal infection in an immunocompetent patient presenting with headache and hemiplegia. CT demonstrated a large ring-enhancing lesion in the parietal region with intralesional calcification.
