Cryptococcal Meningoencephalitis Presenting as Cerebral Infarction and Multiple Cranial Nerve Palsies / 대한뇌졸중학회지

ABSTRACT

Cryptococcosis is a global invasive mycosis associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Fever, headache and vomiting are common clinical presentations of the cryptococcal meningitis. But ischemic stroke and cranial nerve impairment are rare neurologic complications. We report a case of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis presenting as cerebral infarction and multiple cranial nerve palsies.
