RESUMO

We present a case of cerebral infection by candida albicans in a previously healthy 64-year-old man who had symptoms indicative of raised intracranial pressure without fever. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple cerebral granulomas. Diagnosis was made after stereotactic biopsy. The patient's symptoms improved progressively with decrease in the size of lesions after antifungal therapy. No lesions were detected outside the central nervous system. However, he died 3 weeks later from pulmonary embolism. Candida albicans of the central nervous system is uncommon and occurs rarely in immunocompetent patients. As the neurologic sings and symptoms are vague, most cases of cerebral candidiasis are diagnosed just before death or during postmortem study. We have reviewed the main clinico-pathologic features of neurocandidiasis
