Abstract

• Central nervous system cryptococcal infections usually manifests as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, encephalitis or ventriculitis. Cryptococcal choroid plexus inflammation is a particularly rare entity most often presenting with signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension, hydrocephalus or meningitis due to a delayed diagnosis. Herein we reported the case of a 63-year-old immunocompetent woman with a history of temporal lobe epilepsy and behavioral disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomographic (FDG-PET) images revealed atypical cryptococcal choroid plexitis with surrounding bitemporal edema without features of meningitis, intraparenchymal cryptococcoma or hydrocephalus. The patient underwent serial MRI and FDG-PET images performed before and after antifungal therapy that caused a marked clinical improvement. Our case also suggests a potential role of FDG-PET in the monitoring antifungal therapeutic efficacy. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. (literal)
