Cerebral malakoplakia.
A case of cerebral malakoplakia is described in an 18-year-old woman who died as the consequence of a postpartum stroke.  The malakoplakic lesion occurred in areas of cerebral infarction. The features of this unique case are compared with the small number of previously reported cases of cerebral malakoplakia which occurred in much younger patients and against a background of herpes simplex infection.
