“…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).…”

“…Granuloma formation constitutes a protective cellular reaction in response to persistent microbial antigens including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Meyer et al. 1975), eggs of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni (Warren & Domingo 1970), and numerous pathogenic fungi (Hauser & Rothman 1950; Ley et al. 1951).…”

Summary Granuloma formation is an inflammatory response of the host against invading pathogens or indigestible substances. We generated mesenteric oil granulomas by injecting pristane into the peritoneal cavity of mice, and oil granuloma formation in C57BL/6J and BALB/cByJ mice was compared. The formation and kinetics of oil granulomas were distinct between the two strains. In C57BL/6J mice, injected pristane induced oil granuloma formation at both the mesenteric centers (MG) and margins (SG). MG was resolving by 11 weeks, whereas SG persisted. In BALB/cByJ mice, MG developed slower but persisted longer than in C57BL/6J mice, whereas SG resolved sooner than in C57BL/6J mice. Injection of India ink revealed that phagocytes were mainly localized to the SG in C57BL/6J mice, but were diffusely located in both MG and SG of BALB/cByJ mice. SG cells expressed more monocyte chemotactic protein-1 mRNA than MG cells in C57BL/6J mice, but there was no difference in MCP-1 expression between the MG and SG in BALB/cByJ mice. These observations suggest that the recruitment of inflammatory leukocytes under the direction of chemokines differentiates the patterns of granuloma responses to pristane in C57BL/6J and BALB/cByJ mice.

“…Swanson and Smith (1944) found a tumour-like entity in the cerebellum, which they regarded as an ependymoma. 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.…”

A case of fatal cryptococcus meningitis with intraventricular granuloma

et al. 1978

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.
