Infratentorial cerebral cryptococcosis.
In a nonimmunocompromised patient with cerebral cryptococcosis, unique magnetic resonance findings included abnormalities limited to the posterior fossa and cerebellar hemispheric edema, gyriform enhancement of the vermis and cerebellar hemispheres, and infratentorial plaquelike enhancement. Magnetic resonance findings in central nervous system cryptococcosis are discussed.
