“…CNS involvement can take one of two forms: the most common is a granulomatous lesion, and the second rare form is an inflammatory meningeal reaction, which characterizes either acute or chronic basilar meningitis. The combination of both forms can be found in 23% of patients 1–3…”

“…Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) with paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) was first described in 1919 1, 2. PCM must always be considered in the differential diagnosis of both meningoencephalitis and expansive CNS lesions in endemic areas 1–3. We report on a case of PCM that presented with a midbrain mass lesion associated with Holmes' tremor.…”

“…Analysis of the available data shows an increasing number of reports on NPCM, most of which correspond to neurosurgical or to anatomopathologic findings. 1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The NPCM diagnosis frequently is difficult, and a clinical suspicion frequently occurs when a patient with systemic PCM has some neurologic sign or symptom. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) alterations and neuroradiologic methods (computed tomography scan or nuclear magnetic resonance) are useful for diagnoses but are not specific.…”
