“…Nevertheless, we would not recommend decompressive laminectomy as first line treatment because of the individuality of our case. Correspondingly, resection of an intramedullary located cryptoccocic granuloma is no alternative, dispite the fact that successful surgery has been reported once 22. However, in exclusively extramedullary cryptoccocosis resection can have a curative effect as stated before 29-31.…”

A 24 year old immunocompetent German resident is described who developed multifocal encephalomyelitis due to infection with Cryptococcus neoformans var gatti, commonly considered a disease of tropical regions. In the light of current knowlege on the epidemiology of C neoformans var gatti and the travel history of the patient it is assumed that the infection was aquired outside Europe. As exclusive intramedullary involvement is an outstandingly rare manifestation in spinal cryptococcosis, the particular diagnostic procedure and the therapeutic stratagies are discussed (J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2001;70:113-116)

“…Granulomata have been found in the brain (Selby and Lopes, 1973), spinal cord, and cauda equina (Carton and Mount, 1951;Ley et al, 1951;Ramamurthai and Anguli, 1954), skull (Reeves, 1967), and spinal column (Epstein, 1969). Meningitis is usually intracranial but occasionally spinal (Davidson, 1968).…”

“…Space-occupying mycetomas due to cn, however, do not only occur in the various regions of the brain, but also in the spinal canal (Ley et al 1950, Alajouanin et al 1953, Zeitlhofer 1958, Rao et al 1970). An intramedullary toruloma removed by Ramamurthi and Anguli (1954) had been clinically judged as an angioma. Aronson and Aronson (1970) report a cn granuloma mistaken for a basilar angioma.…”

Differential diagnostic difficulties in a case of probably spontaneous cryptococcus meningitis in a young girl are the reason for an extensive presentation of this case. The problems of CSF examination are discussed. In the course of the disease an intraventricular mycetoma had arisen, and caused the picture of a space-occupying process. Histological examination revealed an atypical reaction of the perifocal brain tissue, the possible causes of which are evaluated.
