摘要：

A 70-year-old man experienced an epileptic seizure. Subsequent MRI performed on close examination revealed high signal in the left occipital cortex on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery. Gadolinium contrast indicated enhancement along the cortex. C-11-Methionine PET/CT scan, performed to differentiate from a brain tumor, showed high uptake mainly along the left occipital lobe cortex. Spinal fluid examination revealed Cryptococcus neoformans, leading to a diagnosis of Cryptococcus meningoencephalitis.
