ABSTRACT
Background: Toxoplasmosis is an uncommon disease in immunocompetent people. Case characteristics: We report an adolescent boy with central nervous system toxoplasmosis who presented with progressive lower cranial nerve palsies and a ring-enhancing lesion on neuroimaging. Intervention: Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis was confirmed on histopathology of the excised lesion. Message: Toxoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of focal brain lesions irrespective of immune status.
