RESUMO
Um caso de jovem paciente imunocompetente com provável histoplasmose do sistema nervoso central é aqui reportado, com ênfase nos aspectos evoluktivos muito peculiares de neuroimagem por ressonncia magnética que foram encontrados. Inicialmente foi observado espessamento leptomeníngeo, que, posteriormente, acabou organizando-se em granuloma de fossa posterior. O diagnóstico da infecção fúngica só foi obtido através do estudo histopatológico e o tratamento empregado baseou-se no uso do fluconazol em terapia de longo prazo, com boa resposta inicial.
ABSTRACT
We report a case of a young immunocompetent patient with probable central nervous system histoplasmosis with evolutive peculiar findings seen on magnetic resonance imaging. Leptomeningeal thickening was initially observed which subsequently became a posterior fossa granuloma. The diagnosis of fungal infection was only reached by histopathological study and the treatment was based on long term therapy with fluconazole with good initial response.
