Unusual presentation of central nervous system cryptococcal infection in an immunocompetent patient.

Gaurav Saigal¹, M Judith Donovan Post, Sudha Lolayekar, Amir Murtaza.

Abstract

The imaging findings of cryptococcosis affecting the brain in immunocompetent patients can be different from the more commonly described findings in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of an extremely unusual MR appearance of central nervous system cryptococcosis in a 49-year-old immunocompetent man.
